KRJ has a long history of partnering with the Windsor C-1 School District, having planned for multiple bond issues and completed many phases of district wide improvements. Currently under construction, facilities upgrades at the High School and Windsor Intermediate Center were made possible by the successful passage of Proposition Windsor. The construction at the High School will add much-needed space for the band program, as well as a new modern weight room. At the Intermediate Center, a new gym, classrooms, and a music classroom are all under construction. These are all exciting additions and upgrades to the District’s facilities, for the District’s students and faculty, and we are proud to be a part of the District’s team.

The new Early Childhood Center for the Ste. Genevieve R-II School District is currently under construction and exciting progress is continuing to be made every day. The center includes 10 new classrooms, a multipurpose room, administrative offices, student support spaces, a Parents as Teachers space and screening rooms. This project was made possible by the District’s successful passage of Prop SG. Years of long-range facility planning went into prioritizing projects for Prop SG and the Early Childhood Center is one of five projects that the KRJ team has the privilege of partnering with the District and Brockmiller Construction on.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new De Soto High School Auditorium was recently held and the school showcased student performances in the new space.

KRJ is continually developing the master plan with the De Soto School District and working to prioritize incremental improvements.

KRJ is proud to announce the completion of the De Soto Junior High School cafeteria, classroom and corridor link project.
