A computer-generated picture of what the new competition gym addition would look like from its entrance at the west side of the high school. The new addition would add a lobby for the Prem Sahai Auditorium, a gym for various events and sporting activities, and modern locker rooms.

Change is coming to Webster City Schools as the school bond issue passed earlier this month. The $13,095,000 bond will be used in constructing many new amenities to the high school. “We have never had a lobby entrance to the Prem Sahai Auditorium,” Superintendent Mike Sherwood said. “This will create a nice lobby foyer space for the auditorium and for events that would happen there. It creates a new competition gym, which will help address the issues we have had with practice space and facilities, particularly the time kids have to practice at the middle school levels. That will eliminate that issue.” Beyond the competition gym, it will add new locker room complexes to the high school. “We are still looking at some different aspects and we are tweaking plans,” Sherwood said. Currently, Sherwood and the school are working with financial consultants to put together timelines to sell the general obligation bonds. “The bond sales will likely happen in late April,” he said.
