new building update
Our first modular building has arrived! I am eager to get to the site to check them out and will be able to send photographs from inside the building soon. For those that have not had a chance to drive by Moxley Field, construction has begun!
If you haven't already, please see our 9 minute animation of the new WHS building coming in 2026 here.
Please find the SBC's website here as it is a great resource to keep your finger on the pulse of these exciting new projects.
