Johnston County Schools Report Progress on Cooper Academy Addition and Wilson's Mills High School
Summary
District officials described ongoing construction at Cooper Academy — a 20-classroom addition — and a topping-out milestone at Wilson's Mills High School, with both projects framed as benefiting students and the community.
Johnston County Public Schools representatives reported construction progress on two major projects: a planned 20-classroom addition at Cooper Academy in Clayton and a topping-out milestone at Wilson's Mills High School.
District presenters said the Cooper Academy project has brickwork largely complete with doors and windows being installed and exterior work such as sod and dirt work underway; the addition is intended to provide 20 classrooms and upgraded space to accommodate students and staff.
At Wilson's Mills High School, speakers said the final structural steel was set in a beam-signing and topping-out ceremony. District remarks noted exterior sheathing, poured concrete, grandstands and continuing work on waterproofing and brick; the district estimated the campus would be ready for teachers and students in a little over 400 days.
District officials thanked taxpayers, county commissioners and the board of education for supporting the projects and said work will continue toward completion on the stated timelines. The meeting transcript does not contain construction contracts, budget figures or specific contractor names for these projects.
