We are excited to share another update on the TJHS expansion and renovation project as work continues this summer.
Since our last update, crews have completed the exterior and interior masonry work, structural steel, and roof framing. The roofing system is nearing completion, rough-in plumbing and electrical are nearly finished, and bathroom tile work is well underway as we prepare for fixture installation.
Current work includes exterior air barrier application, preparation for brick installation, and upcoming work on gutters, fascia, and other exterior metal components.
This project remains an important step in preparing for the transition of sixth grade to TJHS in 2026-27 and creating future opportunities for improvements at TGS.
We are grateful for the continued work of the contractors and for the support of our Wooden Shoe community as this project continues to take shape.

Last week, we had the privilege of celebrating our 2026 retirees during our End-of-Year Staff Retirement Luncheon.
We are proud to recognize Junior High teachers Shela Yagow and Amy Oseland (pictured), whose dedication, care, and commitment to students have made a lasting impact on generations of Wooden Shoes. Their years of service have helped shape our schools and strengthen our community.
We also extend our appreciation and congratulations to Greg Beck, who retired earlier this school year.
Retirement marks the culmination of a career devoted to making a difference in the lives of others. On behalf of Teutopolis CUSD #50, thank you to all of our 2026 retirees for your service, leadership, and contributions to our Wooden Shoe community!
Please join us in wishing them all the very best in retirement!

Progress continues on the TJHS expansion project, and we are excited to share another round of photos showing the work underway.
Since our last update, the block walls have been completed, rafters were set into place, and roof decking has begun. In addition, since students left two weeks ago, crews have completed demolition of the existing restrooms, making way for their renovation as part of the project.
This expansion will help prepare for the transition of sixth grade to TJHS in 2026-27, support the needs of our growing student population, and create opportunities for future improvements at TGS.
We are grateful for the continued support as we invest in strong learning spaces for our Wooden Shoes.

Progress continues on the TJHS expansion project, and we are excited to share new photos of the work underway.
Since our last update, the project has continued to move forward with the block walls now in place and preparation beginning for roofing deck installation. This expansion will help prepare for the transition of sixth grade to TJHS in the 2026-27 school year while supporting the needs of our growing student population.
This work remains an important part of the district’s long-term facility improvement plans. Like the THS Cafeteria upgrade last summer, this project is being funded through district reserves.
We are grateful for the continued support as we invest in strong learning spaces for our Wooden Shoes.

Today, we celebrate Staff Appreciation Day across our Wooden Shoe community!
Our schools are strong because of the people who dedicate their service to our students. That includes our teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff, custodians, bus drivers, administrative assistants, food service teams, and so many others who play a vital role in creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
Each interaction, each act of care, and each commitment to doing the work well makes a difference for our Wooden Shoes.
Thank you for the dedication to our schools and for the impact you have on the lives of our students every day!
