Rushing from class to class in six short minutes used to be a stress just for students, but with the reconstruction of the 700 building, teachers are forced to race to their next class as well.

Teachers this year are forced to teach in some weird places throughout the school such as the library alcove, the porches and even the cafeteria.

“I am currently teaching all of my classes in the cafeteria,” Geoff Bingham, science teacher, said. “It’s been hard to remain organized without a desk and only using carts. I’m taking one cart home this weekend to hopefully fix it to make it more like a desk.”

Bingham is not the only teacher displaced this year due to construction. Diane Gauthier, art teacher, has also been teaching art and ceramics classes outside the classroom, on the porches.  

“The constant stream of students walking by is hard,” Bingham said. The passing students make teaching difficult as students become easily distracted during class. But the end product for the 700 building make the difficulties worth the wait.

“There will be two more classrooms out in the 700 building,” Bingham said. “There will also be heating so I will no longer have to turn on my heater, so that’s good. Having more class out there will be easier as well. There are also garage doors being installed, which will make it feel less like a cave.”

There was hope of adding a second story onto the 700 building, but the budget kept being cut. The addition of two classrooms will help with the increased population of the school, hopefully leaving less teachers sharing classrooms. The construction will hopefully be done by Dec. and useable by Jan.
