KRJ is proud to announce the completion of the De Soto Junior High School cafeteria, classroom and corridor link project. This work was the result of the latest phase of incremental improvements planned by KRJ and the De Soto School District over the past 25 years. The ongoing master planning process has resulted in prioritized and phased projects that have been accomplished by the successful passage of 4 bond issues.
For more information on this project and its positive impact on the De Soto Junior High School community, please read the Jefferson County Leader’s article: ‘An Answer to our dreams’
In addition to the improvements at De Soto Junior High School, work was completed at Vineland Elementary, which includes a new gym and classroom addition, a new elevator and the conversion of the former gym to a new media center with support spaces. The De Soto High School Auditorium addition is currently under construction. A new road, also under construction, will improve safety for student drop off/pick up at both the High School and Junior High School.
