Sapulpa High School will break ground on a new facility for its JROTC program on Tuesday.
The groundbreaking will be held on Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. in the north end of the back parking lot of the high school.
The new facility will be a drill hall for JROTC cadets. Currently, the cadets practice in the parking lot regardless of the weather. The new building will give the program a place of its own to conduct its drills.
The 60’ x 80’ metal building will be completed in two phases with phase one to begin next week with concrete work. Phase 2 is expected to begin around spring break with the completion of the project during the summer.
The new drill hall is expected to cost approximately $160,000 and is funded through private donations.
Expected to attend the groundbreaking include representatives of American Legion Post 36, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and Sapulpa High School JROTC.
