The groundbreaking ceremonies for Deer Pointe Elementary and the Fremont High School Career Technical Education Center scheduled for today (March 27) have been postponed.
Fremont Public Schools officials said the postponement was due to recent weather and construction site conditions. A celebration will be conducted at a later date. Details regarding the celebration will be made available as soon as they are scheduled.
Deer Pointe Elementary, along with Howard and Washington Elementary, share the same blueprints. The three elementary school replacements are part of a 10-project, $123 million school facility improvements bond issue that passed on Sept. 14, 2021. They are designed to accommodate four sections of each grade level preschool through fourth grade.
The projects which are in various stages of development and construction will be completed in the next 24-36 months. The new elementary schools will be built to serve up to 540 students as the community continues to grow. The anticipated completion of the buildings will be in the summer of 2024.
The CTE Center at Fremont High will be located at the northeast corner of the high school and house programs to help students gain skills, experience and knowledge in career advancing education.
The center will house a welding/metal fabrication lab, automotive/diesel tech lab, construction tech/electricity lab, health occupations lab, CAD/CAM lab and robotics/automation tech lab.
