Students, faculty and staff from Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria signed their names on two 36-inch I-beams that will be displayed in the school’s new academic wing March 14. The students signed using different colored markers to represent their class year. The beams will become part of the infrastructure for the new center.

“The Cardinal community came together on Thursday with great pride and joy in signing the beams that will become part of the foundation of the new academic center,” said Principal Denise Tobin. “We all look forward to the completion of the building and the additional space and resources it will provide to our school.”

The two beams will be installed on the third floor of the physics lab, and the construction of the wing is set to finish this fall.
