SPEARFISH — Construction and school officials, and a couple high school students, marked the start of building the new career and technical education center for Spearfish High School Tuesday afternoon during a groundbreaking ceremony.
“We’ve been waiting on this for a long time,” said Kirk Easton, superintendent of the Spearfish School District. “COVID put it on a pause. I’m glad we picked it up and started running with it. I appreciate everyone’s work.”
“This is a momentous day for us. A very exciting project,” said Joe Hockett, business development manager for RCS Construction, the company hired as the construction manager at risk.
Mike Thibault and his dad had a dream to go in to business together and their love for golf seemed like the perfect fit. After two military tours, and ten years as a police officer, Mike was ready for a change of pace, and the ability to spend more time with his wife and kids. Mike’s dad, who was a healthy guy, passed away last fall after suffering a stroke and a battle with COVID-19. Even through such a heavy loss, Mike pushed forward to complete the dream he and his father had envisioned, with a heartfelt Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting on April 9th. It was a fitting day with beautiful blue skies and the Masters PGA Championship on in the background while family and friends gathered to celebrate all that Mike and his family had accomplished.
This week, we joined the Spearfish School District in breaking ground on the site of the future Career and Technical Education Center.
The RCS Construction CMAR team is honored to celebrate this major milestone as we build a place that will promote the safety and development of the students & staff of the Spearfish School District.
