St. Marys School in Taylorville has finally completed work on their new building, and has all of the students under one roof. Catherine Robertson, Principal at St. Marys spoke with Regional Radio News and gave some of the early history of St. Marys school, and how the old red brick school came to be.

Robertson said the new building has incorporated a feature from the old red brick school, with features to be incorporated into the new school in the future.

Robertson said there’s still work to be done to complete the move into the new building, and that the old building will have to come down.

Once the old building is torn down, there will be some groundwork to be done, and a playground is planned to be put in it’s place, as well as some additional parking for the school.
