Here we are at ground breaking, September 19, 2007. Check this link out... <a href="http://whs2010.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-year-ago-today.html">Ground breaking 2007.</a><br />
<br />
Tomorrow, Friday July 30 is the official dedication and grand opening of new school at 300 Go Pioneers Drive in Boone NC. This will mark the first step into turning an incredible building into our school. <br />
<br />
Our school has gained the attention of educators, leaders, and school designers from far and wide. Governor Bev Purdue, Cullie Tarleton, Steve Goss, and many dignitaries from across the state will be on hand for the official ceremony. <br />
<br />
As I look at the countdown timer marking the mere hours remaining before opening I recall the whirlwind, shall I say vortex of details, decisions, and challenges that were faced in the construction of this new school.<br />
<br />
I am most amazed at the ability for this community to work together to make this new school happen and to support education in our county. Many minds, hearts, and hands have been involved in the creation of this school. Teachers, students, school board members, commissioners, county officials, friends, and families have all played a part in making the dream a reality. Indeed, it takes a village. <br />
<br />
It is hard to leave the past behind. But, our future is bright and Watauga will soon become what it has always been. Home to the finest students and teachers and a source for pride in our community providing the conduit to the future of generations to come.<br />
<br />
Below I have provided a few links to a few of my favorite posts that I hope give insight to some of the steps along the way.<br />
<br />

These silver tubes are solar tubes being assembled out in the commons area. When installed these stainless tubes are attached to a louvered panel on the roof and provide a continuous "tube" from the outer roof to the ceiling of the rooms where the lens are installed. It is through these tubes that sunlight is captured.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK10nI8CiQIFO3apG9LZxTI9fhbF14eUIoFTV5tuvl8sFspMhTway8w3SNBcPq9k-BmM8B_IcUWdiS3Iy_nwTVfLlM6E21gkndr67BYdqZ7Fhyl-dhsqisl-D2atNwJq11jdYf6OaA7FQ/s1600-h/march+11+2001+180.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK10nI8CiQIFO3apG9LZxTI9fhbF14eUIoFTV5tuvl8sFspMhTway8w3SNBcPq9k-BmM8B_IcUWdiS3Iy_nwTVfLlM6E21gkndr67BYdqZ7Fhyl-dhsqisl-D2atNwJq11jdYf6OaA7FQ/s320/march+11+2001+180.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449416968263698770" border="0" /></a>If you notice the two tubes that are not under one of the lobby lights you will see they appear to be normal stainless steel and there is little difference in the outside and the inside of the tube.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bmP7JprVTMNZBINvLdxFf9dhUYwNmUODdivON_F-JpgeDW1CyyOOl2yw7gm7zY4SMAz_a-QbxSXBQV0SQudfzwO0i3xwycWzB6Exnn5iZRys3Z5fuzree-XrB719kZYHCaPFbG3mzw4/s1600-h/march+11+2001+183.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bmP7JprVTMNZBINvLdxFf9dhUYwNmUODdivON_F-JpgeDW1CyyOOl2yw7gm7zY4SMAz_a-QbxSXBQV0SQudfzwO0i3xwycWzB6Exnn5iZRys3Z5fuzree-XrB719kZYHCaPFbG3mzw4/s320/march+11+2001+183.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449416962253075442" border="0" /></a>Take notice of the tube which is on the left in the first photo and sits under one of the lobby lights.
