Status: Complete
Circleville Middle School completes the $77 million combined campus project six years in the making, joining the Elementary School and High School, both completed in 2014, on the 120-acre campus. The new Middle School houses state of the art technology, roomy science and computer labs, a spacious gymnasium and an art room filled with natural light.
The new building also brings a new focus to safety and security for the district by incorporating scanners that all visitors must run their driver’s license through before entering. “I want those children and all of those teachers to be as safe as possible,” Cheryl Cunningham, a Circleville parent, said. “I understand that bad things happen, but I want to live in a district where they’ve done everything they possibly could to stop them.” This district has done just that, and while Farnham Equipment Company wasn’t involved in providing the new security features, we applaud them for their efforts to keep the community safe. For more information on the district’s new safety and security features, check out the Columbus Dispatch.
