Last week, WAKA News did a small piece on the Luverne School renovations. Here is a link to that article:
WAKA. We are proud of these renovations as well as upgrades at HHS and BHS. In a few weeks, Highland Home School gymnasium will receive a cooling unit and Brantley School will receive retrofitted windows in its gymnasium. Funds for said projects are bond issues that may only be used for facility improvements. Please do not enter any of the worksites. Photos will be posted to update.

| Before: Note the conduit on the walls, unpainted columns between the windows, hanging heaters, large steam piping (aforementioned were completed by Maintenance Department), unpainted light fixtures and trusses. |
 |
| During: Top bleachers have been removed and planed down for refinishing (thanks to all 3 local Ag shops), entire ceiling has been block filled and primed (paint turns solid after 8 foot fall so not to stick, floor (not shown) covered in plastic and plywood. |

 |
| During: One coat of primer and one coat of paint applied to columns and sill (Note: It took one entire week to remove the 50 year-old dirt from the trusses, walls and window sills. It took 2 days to power wash the gum from the balcony floor.) |
 |
| During: From the floor, a lift is used to elevate. From the bleachers, a short ladder is used. (Note: It is nearly 30 feet from ceiling to floor) Bleachers were pulled out so wall could be painted. |
