Construction progress reported at Rock Castle County school for upcoming football season

Rockcastle County Schools is making significant progress on its construction projects, with updates shared during the Special School Board Meeting held on July 10, 2025. The meeting highlighted advancements in various areas, including the new gym, kitchen, cafeteria, and library facilities, all aimed at enhancing the educational environment for students.

Construction crews have removed old bleachers in the gym, paving the way for new installations expected to be completed this summer. The mechanical room wall is also nearing completion, and work continues on the surrounding infrastructure, including road improvements and drainage systems.

The outdoor athletic facilities are taking shape, with topsoil being spread for the long jump area and preparations underway for the pole vault installation. The field is being readied for turf, with drainage systems being laid out to ensure proper water management. The project is on track for completion in time for the upcoming football season, despite a potential minor delay with the turf installation.

In addition to athletic facilities, the kitchen and cafeteria areas are progressing well, with concrete slabs recently poured. The design includes a courtyard with accessible ramps and stairs, ensuring inclusivity for all students. The masonry work is set to begin shortly, further advancing the construction timeline.

Overall, the construction efforts are on schedule, with a dedicated workforce contributing to the project’s success. The community can look forward to enhanced facilities that will support both educational and athletic programs in Rockcastle County Schools.
