HERMISTON â Hermiston School District had a lot to celebrate on Tuesday, April 13.
The district welcomed all students back to the classroom full time for the first time in over a year, and celebrated the groundbreaking for two new schools.
âThis day could not get any better,â Rocky Heights Elementary Principal Stefani Wyant said.
She said she was thrilled to see all of her school full again, and to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for a new, larger Rocky Heights that will be constructed in the current athletic fields next to the school.
The softball fields there are in the process of being moved to a new softball complex next to Hermiston High School, on the former fairgrounds. Students will continue to attend at the current building for the 2021-22 school year while construction is underway, before transferring to the new school in the fall of 2022.
