EASTON, Pa.- Notre Dame High School has celebrated a major milestone.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“This is awesome, I’m so excited for this,” said LJ Simon, a Notre Dame senior. \u201cThis is going to be really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon attended Friday’s event, touring the Fieldhouse.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Classrooms are expected to be open to students after Thanksgiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
