EASTON, Pa.- Notre Dame High School has celebrated a major milestone.

Last year, the school broke ground for a new academic fieldhouse and raised $9.6 million for its completion. On Friday, the school held a first look at the new building.

“In one year, we’ve come a really long way, and we’re trying to show off our progress and all of the things that are to come,” said Jackie Friel, Notre Dame principal.

The new space is equipped with four locker rooms, a wrestling room, weight room and eight spacious classrooms. It replaced an aging annex that had been used since the 1970s.

“This is awesome, I’m so excited for this,” said LJ Simon, a Notre Dame senior. “This is going to be really cool.”

Simon attended Friday’s event, touring the Fieldhouse.  

Classrooms are expected to be open to students after Thanksgiving.
