The Mead High main entry and front office are in the process of being reconfigured into a single point of entry. The finished product will provide a second set of double doors and create a small foyer directing parents and visitors into the main office once the school day starts.

The design of the new Mt. Spokane single point of entry is outstanding. If you didn't know otherwise you would think this safety feature had always been in place.

This summer the gym floor at Mt. Spokane HS was completed sanded down, Wildcat logo added at center court and three-point arc stained a beautiful contrasting mahogany. The gym floor at Mead High was similarly upgrade last summer.

Check out the large classroom windows that will provide plenty of natural light in the new Northwood building.

In addition to retaining the old Northwood gym and remodeling it to be a second athletic facility for the new school, the current band and choir rooms have been dismantled and will become state-of-the-art technology teaching spaces.

The new single point of entry at Farwell Elementary is nearly complete. Parents & visitors will now be buzzed into the main office via a new door located just inside the main entry. Monies to complete this project were approved by voters as part of the February 2015 Facilities Improvement Bond.

The Midway Elementary renovation is in full-swing. Steel is being installed that will be a part of the new kitchen and multipurpose room, exterior walls are coming down and the inside of the north and east wings have been excavated so that footings can be poured for new walls.

Instead of carpet or tile in hallways and in the commons/cafeteria the New Northwood will have long-lasting and easy to maintain polished concrete floors.

Lots of activity around Midway this week. The portable classrooms have been arriving and are being set up in preparation for the start of school. The north and east wings are now completely opened up and framing of new walls is just around the corner.

As the pictures illustrate, construction on the New Northwood is progressing at a brisk pace. The two story building design is not only extremely functional but also blends beautifully with the current Northwood building and Farwell Elementary, which are located on the same campus as the new building.
