School District U-46’s Post

There was excitement - and snow! - in the air this week when a groundbreaking ceremony was held at Kimball Middle School in Elgin. Once finished, the work at Kimball will add about 53,000-square-foot of space to the building, including a new cafetorium, gym, classrooms and science labs. The addition and renovations at Kimball are an important part of U-46’s shift to a true middle school model in which 6th graders will join 7th and 8th graders in middle school. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the groundbreaking ceremony, including our Board of Education members, Kimball staff, District administrators, members of our Plant Operations team, construction company employees, community members, and elected officials. We also are grateful for the talented Kimball Tigers who kicked off the ceremony with music and the Kimball cheerleaders who brought the energy! #WeAreU46
