Phased Classroom Renovation

The district is proud to launch the Phased Classroom Renovation Project to enhance learning environments for students and staff across the district.

The project highlights the district’s commitment to enhancing its current facilities, emphasizing a focus on facility improvements rather than school consolidation. This decision celebrates what makes our district unique—our small, close-knit school communities.

With funds intentionally set aside for the project, careful and intentional financial planning has made it possible to support these improvements without requiring a ballot measure.

MT. HOPE AND WINESBURG RENOVATIONS NEAR COMPLETION

July 25, 2025

Summer renovations at Mt. Hope and Winesburg Elementary Schools are moving forward on schedule. With just a few weeks remaining until the start of the school year, both buildings are quickly approaching completion.

At Mt. Hope, crews have finished installing grid work for drop ceilings, new classroom lighting, and hallway and classroom flooring. Painting is currently in progress, and new furniture is being delivered and staged for installation.

At Winesburg, completed work includes ceiling grid installation and refinishing of the wood floor on the second level. Teams are now focused on installing lighting, flooring, and casework, along with ongoing painting and furniture setup.

This renovation project reflects the pride we take in our schools and the strong, supportive community that defines East Holmes. We’ll continue to share updates as the project moves forward.
