Construction of New School Progresses!

For those who don’t live in or around the Huntley Project area,  here are some pictures I took of the school while it was being built.  One can tell the progress that is being made.  It is said that the school is on schedule and will be done summer 2011.  Feel free to check out the pictures.  I’ll have video in the future of the Huntley Project High School area as well as elementary and Junior high school. 

The fire that took the Huntley Project Students high school occurred in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, 2008. For those pictures, feel free to check out some of the pics at http://www.jonathanmcniven.com/200901070838/the-fire-that-destroyed-huntley-project-high-school/

The old high school gym was about 7,800 square feet. The gym proposed is 10,700 square feet, and with the expansion would be about 12,240 square feet. 

This was an old excerpt some time ago, that seems to get attention for some.  So I thought I’d share.

Well, as many of you might know or don’t know, there has been some stir about the Huntley Project High school and the rebiulding process.  From trying to hire a public adjuster to what process should be taken to demolish the High School, to a new mascot.  It’s sure taken public interest in the process though.  

However, the articles in the Yellowstone County News have also taken on another stir about whether the school mascot should be changed from the phoenix which has significance or history from rising from the ashes.  As the Red Devil has been the school mascot from the beginning,  the community response has been a solid NO for a proposed new school mascot. 

I had to laugh when I got calls from community members about the proposed school mascot and for this reason.  The Huntley Project High School area is traditional and has a long history of generations of family members who graduated there.  The way things have been done in this spread out community doesn’t seem to change much from one decade to another.  However, new ideas, progeny, and more trophies seem to come to this community of which brings pride.  I don’t see much of the school mascot changing in the near future
