The Indianola School District held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Indianola High School Project. The project, using a “replace in place” concept, will modernize the facility, replacing older sections of the building and incorporating existing sections that require less updating.

Board President Mack Rankin tells KNIA News the project is years in the making, and through smart fiscal planning and overwhelming support from the community, this project will be a major win for the district and students.

Phase I of the project includes constructing a new two-story academic wing, community commons, kitchen, administration suite, and main entrance. It will also involve demolishing the existing one-story southern academic wing as well as reconfiguring parking and drop-off areas. Hear more on today’s Let’s Talk Indianola.
