EXCITING CHANGES ON CAMPUS
Summer is a busy and exciting time at Mount Pisgah Academy as we continue making improvements across campus! From major renovations to facility updates, we are working to create fresh, welcoming spaces that will enhance the student experience for years to come.
The gymnasium renovation project continues to make great progress. Crews have been working on the installation of a brand-new HVAC system, making important electrical updates, and continuing the framing for several new spaces, including a classroom, training room, office, and concession stand. These improvements will help transform the gym into a more functional and versatile space for athletics, events, and campus activities.
Our campus improvements are also reaching our residence halls and daily student spaces. The roof replacement on the girls’ dorm has officially begun, with the roof replacement on the administration building scheduled to start soon. These updates will help ensure our facilities remain safe, durable, and comfortable for our students and staff.
We have also been working to complete renovations in our student center, including new ceiling tiles, updated carpet, and new lighting. These changes will create a refreshed gathering space where students can relax, connect, and make memories throughout the school year.
We are grateful for the continued progress happening across campus and look forward to welcoming our students back after summer break to enjoy these updated spaces. These improvements reflect our commitment to providing an environment where students can learn, grow, serve, and build lasting memories.
