(Atlantic) Over one year ago the Atlantic Middle School was heavily damaged by fire.
The building is expected to welcome students back into its hallways this fall for the 2022-23 school year. “It took a little while to get to this point.” Superintendent Steve Barber says, “We need a couple more weeks, but we really wanted to offer an opportunity for our community members to come in and tour the building.”
August 12th will be the date of the open house. “A great opportunity for community members to come in there and celebrate the new paint, flooring, lighting, and everything else that was damaged by the fire.”
Barber indicates they are excited to have students and staff back in a permanent location after being displaced last year. “We just want to thank everybody for their patience, flexibility, and adaptability. We are really excited to be able to start with our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in the middle school. ”
Tuesday, July 27th marked the one year anniversary of the fire.
