During a Jan. 14 ceremony, Sapulpa Public Schools District leaders broke ground on the new high school building.Its incredible, Superintendent Rob Armstrong said, Its the opportunities that school districts provide their kids, and were excited to build what will be one of the finest high schools in the state of Oklahoma.Armstrong says this project is a step in the right direction, as the current building is showing its age and falling behind technologically.Once the new site opens, generations of SHS students will enjoy all the new bells and whistles, like modern classrooms, a fabrication lab and a new performing arts center.Im a little bit sad I wont get to experience it myself, SHS senior Bryce Miller said.

Im all for it, Jim Wood said.Woods family has a history at Sapulpa. His wife graduated from and worked for the school. He sent both of his sons through this building too.Im gonna watch them build it. Every day, Wood said, Go out and have lunch, see how theyre building the new softball, new baseball complex, and the new high school.While the baseball and softball complexes are near completion, Woods will need to eat about 1,100 lunches before the new high school opens.
