Staff reports new DeSoto high school—s main building concrete work largely complete; windows expected soon
Summary
At the May 12 DeSoto County School Board meeting a staff speaker said concrete work on the new high school's main building is largely complete, interior work is beginning and windows should be installed in the next one to two weeks; scholarship night and graduation dates were also announced.
A staff member updated the DeSoto County School Board on May 12 that construction of the district—s new high school is progressing rapidly.
"They're making a lot of good progress toward, the majority of the bottle for the main building is now complete in terms of concrete work," the staff member said, describing recent construction milestones. The speaker added that sheetrock and insulation work is beginning and that windows are expected to be installed in the next week or two.
The staff member also listed upcoming events tied to the school calendar: scholarship night next Thursday and graduation the following week, and encouraged seniors to "finish Bulldog strong" as they complete testing and final tasks.
Why it matters: The construction timeline affects when the district can occupy the building and schedule transition activities. The board was told that visible progress should accelerate interior work and systems installation.
Next steps: The staff member urged parents and the community to watch the district calendar for updates; no formal votes were taken on the project during the meeting.
