Howard Schow of Preston is the contractor for the vocational building, Williams and Anderson of Idaho Falls for the high school addition. The project includes a two teacher homemaking wing, dining facilities, library on the first floor, a gym with rollaway bleachers for 2 000 spectators, and future music art and classroom spaces across two floors. The bond election funding stalls the agricultural addition, delaying completion.
