It's been a busy summer at DeLand-Weldon High School because of improvements being made to the building.

Dr. Michael Tresnak, Superintendant of DeLand-Weldon Schools, explains some of the changes that students and faculty can see when they come back to school like new drop ceilings, lighting, and keyless locks. 

Dr. Tresnak says the building was constructed in the 50s and needed work to hide exposed wiring and steel girders. They were able to successfully clean that up and hide air ducts as well. 

Dr. Tresnak has been blown away by the changes, and the new modern look of the building. He is excited to share the new building through an Open House on Monday, August 12th, from 5-7 pm. 

He adds that the renovations cost between $300-400 thousand, but the school could afford these changes, and in the long run, the new LED lights will save the school money on electricity.
