The SOAR Phase III school improvments are underway. As soon as school ended this year's project began. The hallways are being renovated with fresh paint on the walls and new floors replacing the old carpet. Student lockers are being refurbished and painted. The lockers are the original lockers in the school since it moved to Laplace 30 years ago. They were never painted. The entire project will blend in with the "Commons" color scheme. In addtion to the SOAR project the front entrance to the school is being renovated in honor of Cindy Deroche longtime school secretary who passed away last summer after battling cancer for nearly 20 years. Everything will be completed in plenty of time for the start of the new school year in August.
