Superintendent, Geoff Bontrager, shares, "This shows the great support we have from our community. We are able to touch and make a difference in every single building in our district, so this is a huge day for Northwest Community Schools, and we are very excited for that. Go Mounties!"

According to Northwest, the project will run through fall of 2027.
