Board
Member Kevin Beiser and Area Two Superintendent David Lorden
joined Principal Patricia Crowder, coaches and athletes representing
various sports to dedicate Patrick Henry High School's new field
and track in the Patriots' stadium. Students, parents, boosters and
community members attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony that was
held just before the first varsity home football game on Friday, Aug.
31.
The previous field and track were replaced with a new 50,307
square-foot, all-weather track; and a new 79,306-square-foot, synthetic
turf field with game markings, and a new drainage and cleaning
system. There is another 20,660 square feet for track and field events.
The $1,901,252 construction project was funded by Proposition S capital
improvement bond funds, which cannot be used for teachers' or
administrators' salaries. The project partners were PJHM Architects
and Byrom-Davey, general contractor.
"This is a great investment in our students," said Board Member Beiser.
