Dear Pelham Parents and Community Members,
On this day two years ago, the community came together in support of the 2018 Capital Improvement Bond that sought to address a variety of infrastructure needs within the District and improve our athletic facilities. Without question, it has been a busy two years as we sought to plan and begin implementing these projects, and today, that hard work is really starting to show.
If you drive or walk by Hutchinson, the outline of the new school is clearly visible and the concrete footings are nearly complete. We will begin to install steel in the near future and we expect progress to move quickly throughout the spring and summer. With all that has transpired, I am pleased that we are currently on schedule to open the new building in the fall of 2021.
The new turf fields at the Glover Complex are also nearly complete and the tennis court resurfacing should be finished in the next few weeks. Both of these projects were well underway in the fall and we are fortunate that work was able to continue despite the pandemic. We look forward to the entire community enjoying these incredible recreational and athletic assets just as soon as it is safe to do so.
The remaining projects -- the addition and bathroom renovations at Prospect Hill and interior/exterior renovations at the HS/MS -- are in various stages of development and we are looking forward to seeing them come to fruition in the near future.
Please enjoy a restful weekend and this beautiful weather.
Sincerely,
Cheryl H. Champ
Superintendent of Schools
