Phased Classroom Renovation

The district is proud to launch the Phased Classroom Renovation Project to enhance learning environments for students and staff across the district.

The project highlights the district’s commitment to enhancing its current facilities, emphasizing a focus on facility improvements rather than school consolidation. This decision celebrates what makes our district unique—our small, close-knit school communities.

With funds intentionally set aside for the project, careful and intentional financial planning has made it possible to support these improvements without requiring a ballot measure.

RENOVATION PROJECT KICKS OFF AT MT. HOPE AND WINESBURG

June 13, 2025

Renovations are officially underway at Mt. Hope and Winesburg Elementary Schools as part of East Holmes’ Phased Classroom Renovation Project. Just one week into the summer construction timeline, crews have already made visible progress preparing the buildings for a series of important upgrades.

Most of the progress so far has focused on demolition work, including the removal of old flooring, ceiling tiles, and casework in preparation for the upcoming renovations. This summer’s upgrades include fresh paint, new flooring, new interior room signage, upgraded lighting, and modern furniture, all designed to support engaging, functional, and welcoming learning environments.

Progress photos and additional updates will be shared throughout the summer so families, staff, and community members can follow along as the work continues.
