At a big unveiling after mass on last Friday, the school presented the blueprint for a state-of-the-art athletic field which is to be built on the current natural grass field. The total cost of the new field will be 1.5 million dollars, but the school has already raised $620,372 for the cause. Construction will begin after the end of the lacrosse season next spring, and is expected to be finished before school begins in Fall 2012.
The new athletic field is the first priority in Phase II of the Capital Campaign; which is the school’s master plan to improve and renovate the school to make it a safer a more modern learning environment for the students. The reveal of the new field design kicked off Phase II of the Campaign, which follows an extremely successful Phase I. Phase I included the construction of a new security fence and installation of the much appreciated HV/AC system throughout the main building.
