They were assisted by school board members and administrators, but the real work was done by these future Shorecrest students.   

On Saturday, September 10, 2011, students from every Shorecrest feeder school - elementary schools Lake Forest Park, Brookside, Briarcrest, and Kellogg Middle School, put on a hard hat and picked up a shovel for the official groundbreaking for the new Shorecrest High School.  Most of them will not experience the current buildings or the construction - only the new school buildings.

Current sophomores will be the first to graduate from the new school which is scheduled to be completed in January 2014.
