High School Addition

During registration, many parents had questions regarding the progress of the addition to Coal City High School. The main concern was in regards to the completion of the student parking lot.

Although the unusually wet and cold summer has slowed us down, we are still on schedule to have half of the student parking lot completed prior to August 19th, which is the first day of student attendance. This will provide 313 parking spaces for our students, which is more than enough to handle our student traffic at the beginning of the school year. The remainder of the parking lot is scheduled to be completed prior to the first home football game on September 4.

Students driving to school should enter via the Carbon Hill Road entrance. Parents who are dropping students off should enter off Rt. 113 and drop off in the north parking lot in front of the school. Staff parking will be in the East and North lots.

Should you have questions regarding parking, please contact the high school office at 815-634-2396.

I encourage anyone to watch the progress of our high school addition project via webcam on our District website. There will be many more updates throughout the year, so keep an eye on our website and on our Business Manager's blog.
