Development of the Joe Redington Sr. Junior/Senior High
School, to be built Knik Knack Mud Shack Road, took a huge step
forward November 21 as the new school's mascot and colors were
revealed at a community forum November 21.
 This
new school is one of five new facilities approved by Mat-Su
voters in the 2011. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2015, it is
now known that students of the school, named after "Father of
the Iditarod" Joe Redington Sr., will be known as the Huskies,
and bear school colors of navy and action green.
According to Mat-Su Borough School District public information
officer Catherine Esary, much else took place at the forum;
architects presented the layout of the school-to-be, described
the site, talked of traffic patterns and how the new facility
will fit in with the community.
Project manager Bob Bechtold spoke of planning and design phases
of the $65-million school bond project.
Myriad questions about the new facility from stakeholders were
answered and mundane matters such as financing and development
history were discussed.
But it was the revelation of the new school's mascot and colors,
selected by middle school students throughout the district, that
highlighted the forum. |
