The New Neal Community Advisory Council and IFF organized a New Neal table at the 2021 Eagle Fest in August. CAC members greeted students and families as they came through the fair with images of the new school and sample building materials. We also handed out magnets and snacks while chatting about the upcoming construction. It was great to see everyone excited to start the new school year!

The construction crew has completed site work and will be completing foundation footings by September 2021. This work will provide a strong base for the vertical steel structure that will begin installation in Fall 2021. See below for photos of the construction crew installing the foundation footings.

On May 6th, a small group of North Chicago partners and stakeholders were able to attend a COVID-safe groundbreaking event. We were grateful to be able to celebrate such a powerful project and to elevate the voices of our very own NMSA students who have been integral partners in the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) throughout this project. While we know we have lots of hard work ahead, we were excited to take the time to celebrate this project with the North Chicago community. Patience Cager, a NMSA 8th grader, said it best during her speech, “I believe the new Neal will show that we can do BIG things in our community and we care about our school and our entire community.”  We are excited to continue to support the big things happening in North Chicago!
