It may come as a surprise for some, but the multi-million dollar building upgrade for Maroa-Forsyth Schools at its Maroa campus is moving along right on schedule. 

Superintendent Dr. Kris Kahler explains the district is still on track to move into the addition of the high school in 2023. He notes they did anticipate an issue getting steel and built that into the planning process. 

Dr. Kahler reminds the district is adding on to the high school with classroom spaces, an additional gymnasium, a multipurpose space as well as classrooms that will ultimately become space for the middle school students.

For this school year and the first semester of next year, Dr. Kahler says there have been adjustments the middle school students have had to make like going to the high school for choir and some other rooms in the building are being used for other purposes.

Dr. Kahler says a lot of people drive by the school and see all the exterior walls going up but he says the next step is to get inside those walls and start turning into the spaces they need.
