Update: March 31, 2026 – After a successful groundbreaking, crews are now digging trenches for the new school’s foundation. Underneath these foundations are thousands of geopiers, holes that have been drilled and then filled with high-quality aggregate, which is then heavily rammed in thin layers. These geopiers help strengthen the soil to support the foundations and the new school.
