Under construction
Anderson County Schools busy with building projects
From improvements to Clinton High School’s softball field to a multi-use facility, progress continues with Anderson County Schools’ building projects.
An update on these projects came in the November County Commission agenda as part of Director of Schools Tim Parrott’s report.
Softball Field
The school system stated the Clinton High School softball field is 80% complete.
The concession stand is under contract and the school is aiming for a Dec. 1 completion.
Multi-use facility
Parrott said the school system plans to build a multi-use sports facility on the Anderson County High School campus similar to the one at Clinton High School.
Half of the cost will come from the district and the other part from donors.
“The whole community can be part of that,” he said.
He described it as a “big, enclosed building,” to be used for activities such as soccer, football and track.
Parrott said he did not yet have a date for completion, but that it would be where the old practice football field is.
It’s part of the school system’s capital projects plan, which refers to projects for which the school system saves money several years out.
The report stated the said the bid will go out in next September.
