Shepherd Schools are planning to expand their horizons by adding on to the existing schools in the district.

The most important point that Shepherd Schools Superintendent Terry Baker wants to illustrate is that the community will be involved with the building renovations. Any suggestions and decisions will be voted on by the schools community so that their ideas will be heard.

There may however be some concern that the renovations may take a long time but it seems that because of the exact planning, the school board does not want to put too much on their plate.

Though the construction will not start till May, the planning has already begun.

Shepherd High School can look forward to a new football field in addition to their building additions and updates. The additions and updates will take a little over a year with their expected end date of August 2008.

Shepherd Elementary will be getting the largest amount of additions with construction on both the west and east sides of the building. All of the schools new additions are scheduled to last until April of 2010.

Winn Elementary will also be getting a face lift and additions as well. With Winn having the least amount of construction, their finish date is set at August 2008.
