The Knoxville School Board took a tour of the middle school construction project, and Superintendent Cassi Pearson tells KNIA/KRLS News that it’s been exciting to see the progress that’s been made on the project. 

“It’s been really fun watching it from the blueprint stage … and now that it’s actually there, to go back and look at the blueprints and walk through it is kind of mind blowing. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be that big when you have a two-dimensional drawing and then you walk through it and you just realize all of the great spaces that our design team put together. It’s very 21st century, very modern, but yet with kind of a classical feel to it too. It feels like Knoxville.”

The new building is scheduled to be completed in time for the beginning of next school year.
