On October 4th, Whiting-Turner and Burlington School District (BSD) raised the final beam of the new high school and technical center into place!
About 100 BSD students and staff joined Whiting-Turner and the construction crew for the event, alongside Superintendent Tom Flanagan, Board Chair Clare Wool and student representatives, and Mayor Mulvaney-Stanak.
The beam represents the completion of the final structural building phase of the project. Moving forward, exterior walls will be added before the interior begins to be transformed into classrooms, meeting spaces, and more.
The project remains on budget and on schedule, with a plan to open for students in the Fall of 2026!
Check out the photos below, along with a video of the full ceremony and Superintendent Flanagan’s powerful speech on his hopes for the future of the building and our community.
