Biloxi district plans 9th-grade addition
Jan 20, 2008 4:50 PM
The Biloxi (Miss.) School District is planning to build a
$14 million addition to its high school. It will be used to house
ninth-graders, and district officials hope it will be complete by
August 2009. The addition will include 34 classrooms and two labs,
six offices, a storage room, a work room and an Internet cafe. The
space is needed to accommodate ninth-graders, who now attend junior
high. When the addition is completed, seventh-graders will move to the
junior high, and sixth-graders will take over the seventh-grade school.
The freed-up space at elementary schools likely will be used for a
pre-kindergarten program.The architect is Guild Hardy Architects.
