Substantial completion at Pella High School is drawing near as crews finish the last pockets of renovations.

Superintendent Greg Ebeling tells KNIA/KRLS News the new classrooms where the cafeteria used to be are almost finished and ready for students.

“The last two spaces that we’d like to get into are our art room spaces and a special education classroom and health classroom as well,” she says.

Ebeling says the board approved new directional and building signs for the facility as well.

The bulk of construction should be complete by Thanksgiving, with punchlist items continuing until the end of winter break.
