High school bond projects include ADA access and parking lot improvements, restroom renovations, a new gym HVAC system, and a new Vo-Ag classroom. Other classroom additions will allow all high school classes to be in one building for improved security.
Did you know? During severe weather the high school in Winchester and the EMS in Nortonville are used as weather shelters. Keys are provided to local first responders to open buildings when a storm severity indicates the need. Please pass on to others in our community!
The start time for this evening's JCN band concert for 6th—through 12th grade has moved to 6:00 p.m. Students have a 5:30 call time. The time change was made due to incoming storms, which could be very strong this evening.
The bond will improve HVAC systems, roofing, lighting, secure entrances, and ADA accessibility throughout the district. Replacing aging systems will create better, more energy-efficient buildings.
Track Seniors and Parents, the Seniors and Senior Parent's recognition will be between the 400s and the 300 Hurdles tonight.
The bond will repair and replace the deteriorated parking lot at the high school and bring ADA parking to the front of the building, creating safe access for all who visit JCN.
