Everything is coming together at the new Kingsville K-12 school. Fortis Construction Group continues to advance construction toward the scheduled opening date of September 2024, with the final beam being placed on the interior structure of the school this morning.
Fortis Group brought forward the idea to have future students, staff, trustees and community representatives invited to add their signatures to the final beam. Over 50 attendees were given the opportunity to sign their names, with some adding messages that will be preserved inside the finished structure indefinitely.
鈥淲e are grateful for the opportunity to create a meaningful symbol with this important group of people,鈥� said Director of Education, Erin Kelly. 鈥淭his new school has been many years in the making and it鈥檚 exciting to see how many community members are here to celebrate this milestone with us.鈥�
Construction at the new school site has been ongoing since early 2022, with the GECDSB anticipating a September 2024 opening. Progress updates are continually added to our School Construction page.
