Moving Forward Together
Excitement is growing as we are preparing to take the next big step in bringing our new Pre-K to 2nd grade school to life—requesting bids from contractors is just around the corner! This marks a major milestone in a journey that has been shaped by thoughtful planning, community support, and strong collaboration.
Over the past several months, the design and development process has been a true team effort. The Miron Construction Team, Emergent Design Team, and our School & Board Leadership Team have worked hand-in-hand to ensure the new school reflects the values, needs, and aspirations of the Decorah community.
This new facility will replace John Cline Elementary and West Side Early Childhood Center, offering modern, flexible spaces that foster creativity, exploration, and growth for our youngest learners. It’s more than a building—it’s a foundation for future generations.
We’re proud of the progress and grateful for the partnerships that have brought us to this point.
Stay tuned as we move into the next phase of construction, there’s much more to come!
