Rocky Christian School (RCS) students will return to school next fall to a refreshed facility.

Wild Rose School Division (WRSD) board of trustees approved a plan for several additions to the 55-year-old school building.

They include:

• New administration suite with work room and infirmary
• New main entrance with accessible access
• Elevator with access to all floors of the building
• An additional classroom
• Gym change rooms and storage rooms
• Viewing area for the gymnasium
• Redesigned parking lot with parent drop off loop

RCS has contracted out Eagle Builders for this project, with work expected to commence after June 16.

As part of the lease agreement between Rocky Christian School Society and WRSD, the division must agree with the alterations to the facility.

WRSD officials say the well-being of students and staff is of highest concern, and therefore, has requested information on how RCS and its contractors will be managing health and safety. 

Rocky Christian School was first opened in 1970, with the first year accommodating grades one to five.
