Roth recently provided an update about the project to members of the Leavenworth Board of Education.
The former Earl Lawson Elementary School is being converted into the Earl Lawson Early Education Center as a result of a $36.7 million bond issue that was approved by voters in 2018.

ESCANABA High school students, not only in the Escanaba area, but across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will soon have an opportunity to receive a Catholic, classical education.
Holy Name High School in Escanaba will reopen after 50 years, beginning with the 2021-22 school year, offering both in person and remote learning.
A group of area educators, parents, alumni, supporters, and local pastors has been working toward this goal for several years. In January 2019 a major campaign under the slogan “Now is the Time” was publicly launched.
