On December 9, 2011, Barnhart Balfour Beatty and International Iron Products invited Hill Creek students and staff to sign their name on the final main beam of their new 10-classroom building. All students had the opportunity to sign the beam as they paraded by class throughout the school day to put their names down in history. It is a practice of International Iron Products, the company installing the beam, to always celebrate when the last beam is being installed on one of their building projects. Hill Creek Principal, Jerelyn Lindsay, took this special opportunity to involve all students, from preschool to eighth grade, in the celebration by signing their name on the beam. Parents joined in the fun and snapped pictures of their children and their perpetual signatures. Hill Creek’s new classroom building is expected to be completed near the end of April 2012.
