WASHINGTON, Iowa (KCRG) - For more than 100 years, the building that is now home to Washington Middle School has welcomed Washington County students and fostered their learning.
But the building has also gone without a major renovation since opening in 1918.
“It’s a great, sturdy structure, but it’s a structure that was built a lot differently than what everything has been built now,” Washington Community School District Superintendent Willie Stone said.
In many ways, Stone said, the school simply isn’t built for 2021 and needs to be updated.
