New ROCORI Middle School Construction Update- Late July 2010

July 22, 2010
ROCORI High School
Cold Spring, Minnesota

Here's a construction update direct from the ROCORI High School/New Middle School site. School Superintendent Scott Staska gives us a virtual tour of the new gym, the Middle School classrooms, the totally completed tennis courts and much more. Even with some of the rain and storms that hit the "Land Of ROCORI" over the past few weeks, the new school construction is still on schedule and even the inside remodeling taking place in the High School should be completed in time for classes to begin a month from now.
