By GlobalDataLake Local Schools superintendent Jim Witt noted that the building will provide new opportunities for the school’s children.
He said: “It’s their school. I don’t want people to lose sight of the fact that it’s a school and a school is full of children, and they’ve been a part of it and they will continue to be a part of it.
“We think it’s going to be a really good learning space for kids moving forward.”
The new building is expected to open in late 2024.
In 2010, Lake High School was replaced following a tornado that damaged the building.
