Superintendent Patrick Little summarizes the middle school renovations by stating, “The focus at the middle school is hands-on learning, experimenting, and flexible spaces for innovation. This renovation looks wonderful, but also promotes a collaborative teaching and learning environment.”
The tour of the newly constructed Rambler Fieldhouse will include:

Superintendent Patrick Little summarizes the fieldhouse project, “The Rambler Fieldhouse was designed based on the needs of the students and the community for flexible programming and multiple uses. We are excited to see how coaches and volunteers use this facility to engage with students in new ways.”
The completion of Rambler Fieldhouse marks the halfway point of the construction funded by the 2020 Bond funds, approved by the Boyne City voters. Next summer, the district will work on elementary and high school improvements. The purchase of buses, technology, and furniture is also included in the upgrades.
Board President Zareena Koch states, “The voters' support for the bond issue in May 2020 was especially impressive, given the stress of the pandemic. It illustrates the commitment they have to the community and to the children. The on-time delivery of better athletic and academic facilities for students is something we can all be proud of. This fieldhouse is a gift to the community and we’re so pleased the voters entrusted us to make this project become a reality.”
