Trinity High School has hosted Wheatmore students since classes began Aug. 21.
In preperation for the move, both high schools will be closed for students Thursday and Friday, Sept. 10-11.
The work days ahead will be jam packed, said WHS Principal Daryl Barnes.
“Teachers will spend those days making the classrooms inviting for students,” said Barnes. “The walls are bare. Teachers will put up bulletin boards and posters.”
It is likely that some staff will come in to work on Saturday or maybe even on Sunday.
“It is our hope that we can get it all done and ready in time,” he said.
Preparations must be complete before Sunday afternoon, he added.
An orientation will be held 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. Following an informational session, students will receive their schedules and locate their classrooms.
“We are as excited as can be to get to show it to the people,” said Barnes. “I am most confident that our community is going to have tremendous pride in the new facility in an unbelievable new setting.”
Marty Trotter, assistant superintendant of operations at Randolph County Schools, was pleased when DeVere Construction turned over the Wheatmore keys Aug. 25.
“We were originally thinking that it could be as late as October or Thanksgiving,” he said.
Trinity staff will roll up their sleeves as well, said Principal Denise Lackey. Classes had been located all over campus, including 23 mobile classrooms.
“Teachers will move back to their original departments,” Lackey said. “This will mean moving computers and desks. We’ve got a plan.”
Lackey added that, following the move, the Trinity PTSO will distribute balloons and blue T-shirts with a Trinity High School theme.
