Storage building will be remade into classroom space

Indian Creek students who want to earn college credits or who find that a regular high school setting doesn’t quite work for them soon will be able to take classes in a renovated building.

A vacant Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson storage building is being upgraded with computers and Internet access so students will be able to take both traditional and online courses as part of the district’s early college and alternative program.

The goal is to give students the chance to earn an associate’s degree by the time they graduate and to expand the alternative program to students who don’t learn well in traditional classrooms, Superintendent Matt Prusiecki said.

Currently, the district offers alternative courses to just four students through the Educational Resource Center in Edinburgh, and Prusiecki wants to offer the courses to more students, he said.
