New school open house expanded

The Grand Coulee Dam School District has expanded the open house for its new K-12 school complex.

Superintendent Dr. Dennis Carlson said Tuesday that the district will have a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 12, with tours of the new complex to follow.

Carlson said that another tour will be added from 6-8 p.m. to accommodate those who work in the daytime and can’t get to the earlier open house.

The new school will welcome students, Monday, Sept. 15.

Last week the final material from the demolition of the classroom wing of Lake Roosevelt High School was taken from the site and now workers are getting the area to grade.

Contractors are involved in the final touches of the new building and Carlson stated the complex will be ready for students.

Last minute placement of trees and other plant materials continues this week.
