HECTOR — The Hector School Board voted Tuesday during a special called meeting to proceed with a campus security project that will include a high school addition that will create a single point of entry for the school.
Superintendent Mark Taylor said the addition will also able to create a better traffic flow for the high school campus.
“Currently you drive into the center of campus to get to the high school offices,” he said. “We also have a high concentration of students in the area that change classes from fine arts, Physical Education as well as elementary students going to the cafeteria. We want to eliminate traffic inside campus and move it outside of our student areas.”
The project will include a student courtyard inside campus, new high school administrative offices, a student pavilion, amphitheater style seating inside the courtyard, access control doors throughout campus, security cameras and new fencing. The project will add faculty parking around campus as well.
“We are very excited about the project, and I think this will give our campus a facelift and create a much safer environment for our students,” Taylor said.
Architect Steve Elliot with Lewis Elliott Mcmorran Vadan Inc. led the district in designing the project with student safety in mind.
“We have worked with Steve Elliott on several projects, and as always his team has helped build a plan for us that falls within our budget,” Taylor said.
A representative from Jostens will be here next Thursday, April 29 at 9:00 a.m. to deliver senior items that have been ordered & paid for (cap & gown etc.)
