Knight Elementary School principal Sherrie Buckingham, student Derrick Tsosie, teacher Marsha Marshall, school secretary Sherrie Zufelt, and community member Gail Wakefield.

Grand County School District superintendent Margaret Hopkin said the new state-of-the-art facilities are projected to last up to 80 years, and thanked all who had helped make the projects a reality, including architects, contractors, district staff, and the community at large. Moab Mayor Dave Sakrison also thanked the community for “making an investment in the future.” Although both buildings are still in the final stages of construction, they are expected to be ready in time for classes to start Sept. 7. Additional open house events will take place later in September, school officials said. Photo by Jeff Richards
