From Dr. Carlisle:
Exciting announcement for our school and community. While it has unofficially been discussed for a couple months now, I have been given the go ahead and make it official.
The steel structure behind the football field that has sat unfinished for years, will be finished by the end of the summer. Thanks to the County Commission, they have secured the steel workers to put the outside skin on it this spring.
Thanks to the Superintendent and the board, they are going to pay for the infrastructure (restrooms, HVAC, Etc.) to be done this summer. The plan is for that to be another athletic building.
I have also started looking for wrestling mats and talking to people about coaches, that could start a wrestling program next winter at Hannan.
Over the next couple months, be on the look out at other big announcements that will be about major upgrades to our facility. Many things in the works that I will share as soon as it is finalized.
Stay warm and safe everyone!
