Even in times of historic Pandemic, learning and improving schools must continue

Lemoore High School bids farewell to the old Home Economics building as workers demolish it to make room for a new academic building. The small gym, right next door, is slated to come down soon too.

When students return to school in August, when passing between classes, they may have to avoid construction in the heart of the campus where workers are paving the way for new modern facilities.

On Thursday, workers were hard at it, demolishing the existing home economics building in the heart of the campus, and later this month, workers are expected to begin removing the historic small gym, which has been around since the construction of the original high school.

Both are projects that are part of the 2016 $24 million bond measure that voters approved to fund construction at Lemoore High School.

Construction continues at Lemoore High School as renovation, courtesy of a 2016 bond measure, continues.

“Jamison is all torn up too,” said Lemoore High School District Superintendent Debbie Muro. “They’re getting a new multipurpose room and new office.”

The district has already completed several projects, including a facelift for Tiger Stadium, including a new press box, snack bar, restrooms, and an athletic building. The school’s swimming pool was renovated recently, and the school’s agriculture farm received some updates.
