Abond issue project at Newcastle Middle School is underway with the groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday. Construction will begin January 8, 2024. Newcastle Public Schools plans a six classroom addition. Two of those will be safe rooms which can accommodate up to 300 people.
They will renovate the school’s existing bathrooms, making them double the size they are now. And, a new track and bathroom are being built on the north side of the school. Superintendent Dr. Cathy Walker said, “This is part of our bond issue passed last year. I am very proud of our community investing in our students.”
Construction is expected to last through January 8, 2025.
