There is one last chance to take a tour of a Sheboygan middle school ahead of a major construction project.
The Sheboygan Area School District is reminding residents that the final open house at Urban Middle School will be held today from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
This open house comes as renovations are set to begin after the school year comes to an end at both Urban and Farnsworth Middle Schools.
Initial work to be completed at Urban will begin on the building’s west side and includes the removal of the current auditorium and the addition of a new, highly secured main entrance and classrooms.
This final open house gives those interested a chance to see the current state of the facility and ask questions about what construction crews will be doing over the summer and the coming years.
Both this project and the related work at Farnsworth were made possible by the passing of the November 2024 SASD referendum, which received substantial support from voters.
Early next month, the district intends to hold a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the work to be done on both aging schools.
More information on planned work through the referendum is available to view by visiting sheboygan.k12.wi.us.
