We are working on switching the video to a new platform so everyone can view. Please check back later.

Tuscola School facility upgrade video. I will talk about and show you the upgrades. You will venture to the press box, bleachers, TCHS, and EP. The 2 areas I did not show were the outside lighting and the girl’s locker rooms. Kids were in the gym and we did not know if there were girls in the locker room. The girls' pe is similar to boys. The video is 1 hour and 6 minutes. Video- Outdoor facility ends at the 22:22 mark, TCHS 22:22-52:26, EP 52:26-58:47, and Finances 58:47 to end. I hope it helps to see the upgrades.

You may wonder why our fixed seating is different colors. The reason is someone needed black seats more than our community and students did. If you are the person who needed the seats more and no longer needs them, you can return and we will install them.


FYI: Workers will be working outside at Tuscola High School from 1:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 24, and Friday, August 25.
