This summer at Shorewood the work proceeds to prepare the site prior to the actual construction of the new high school, which will begin in the fall.

Construction crews are creating the building pad and installing utilities as well. They are creating temporary parking areas for staff, students and construction workers at the south end of the Shorewood campus.

Last week and this week the crews are demolishing a portion of the 100s wing along North 175th. This is the old Ronald Elementary school which was given some modifications (like larger toilets) when it was combined with Butler Junior High to become the new Shorewood High School.

Earlier the crews demolished the existing portables which were not in good enough condition to move and reuse.

The classrooms in the area being demolished will be relocated either to temporary modular buildings that have been placed on the field (like those at Shorecrest) or to the former wood shop space.
