As we move into the summer months, the MRH Operations Team will tackle a wide range of construction and facility upgrades. These improvements are focused on enhancing safety, functionality, and the overall learning environment for the 2025–26 school year.
Early Childhood Center
- In June, we will begin repairs on the playground wall to eliminate climbing hazards. The wall will be resurfaced with smooth grout and damaged stones will be replaced. This work will require the playground to be closed until 4:00 p.m. daily, with construction fencing in place.
- New concrete will be poured below the deck to address tripping hazards.
- In July, the ECC will receive a new main roof and a newly paved parking lot.
Elementary School
- A new rear parking lot will be installed.
- Concrete at the base of the Princeton stairs will be replaced, and the stairs will receive a protective epoxy coating.
- Concrete outside the Princeton doors will be caulked and resealed.
- Roof repairs from recent wind damage may also be completed this summer.
Middle School/High School campus
- The small lot on Martini will be fully repaved.
- Damaged concrete in front of the middle school will be replaced.
- Tuckpointing will take place on the west wall of the high school and on the old weight room, which is being converted into workspace for the Grounds Department.
- Concrete and asphalt work will be done at both the track entrance and the theatre entrance.
- A new roof will be installed over the middle school.
Outdoor Learning & Garden Spaces
- With the recent sale of two District-owned houses on Lohmeyer, we are reimagining our Seed to Table space.
- This summer, we’ll install a new bee yard, shed, and chicken run in the garden area.
Track & Field Project
- Groundbreaking begins in early June for a new grass field and resurfaced track. The goal is to complete the project in time for the 2025–26 school year.
Custodial & Interior Work
- Our custodial team is rolling out new products to streamline floor stripping and cleaning, allowing us to cover more space than ever before this summer.
- Ceiling tile replacements are currently being bid for the Middle and High School buildings for all the main hallways.
Additional Projects in Progress
- New field lighting and a soccer scoreboard are currently moving forward and may be installed soon.
- Looking ahead to summer 2026: plans are in place for café kitchen upgrades across all buildings (with some more extensive than others), a new Seed to Table classroom at the Elementary School, HVAC upgrades at the ECC, and a facelift of the library.
