The Huron School district has been working on expanding Career and Technical education classes for several years. One of the challenges was to identify course offerings to add to those already in place according to John Halbkat, director of buildings and grounds.
A feasibility and enrollment study of the Huron school district was conducted and after considering options to expand and with enrollment number still rising at the high school level. JLG architects developed a proposal to expand Huron High School.
The expansion will aid existing activities.
Halbkat said the addition would be a good fit to the school districts needs and no bond issue is needed.
