The preliminary construction of the music classrooms and
baseball fields has begun. According to Kevyn Moberly, the director of
maintenance, operations and transportation, the baseball field will be
completed in time for next year’s baseball season, with the backstops and
structures expected to be finished by October 1. The field is also expected to
be planted with grass by this date.
The field will have
right field facing due west and the stands will be behind the backstop. Workers
have started to level the area where the baseball field will be and are
exporting the excess dirt to the area where the music room will be built.
Construction on the music building should be started after
the first of the year. When asked about the music building’s size, Moberly
responded, “it’s roughly 5,000 (square) feet.” Currently, the only thing that
is going on is leveling the area where it will eventually be built.
The entire construction project is contained within a
three-year plan. The plan includes re-roofing the current buildings including
the library and the administration building as well as renovating the current
drama and music building. Moberly has recently met with the architect to
finalize the drawings of the buildings. These drawings were then submitted to
the state architect for approval.
A pool is still within the plan and a pool site committee,
including several YHS administrators, has been created to generate funds for
the construction of a pool. The committee hopes the pool can be started as soon
as possible but could still be as much as three years away.
