The main entrance to A.C. Flora High School Students at A.C. Flora High School have adjusted to eating lunch outside on freezing December days and walking to class in the pouring rain. They have portables as classrooms and fields as parking lots because of the construction going on at their school.

The construction began last year and is almost complete, much to the students' relief. According to Austin Coleman, A.C. Flora's Teacher on Special Assignment, the parking lots are not expected to be finished in time for the new school year, but the new classroom buildings and the media center will be handed over to the school July 20. After that, the school will still have to be cleaned and furnished. Hopefully, they will be functional in three weeks.

The main building, which has the attendance and main offices, was completed during the school year and was used by the faculty and students during the second semester of the year. There is still construction to be done, such as building the new gymnasium and theatre, but much of the actual classrooms are complete.

Having new facilities will be a treat for some of the lower classmen who have endured school construction throughout their academic careers - those from Brennen and Satchel Ford Elementary Schools and Crayton Middle. Flora students may not be thrilled by the construction issues they have endured including a few instances last school year where the water was cut off, but as the 2007 Flora yearbook says, "Just seeing the new buildings go up and knowing these improvements will change our school for the better makes all of the sacrifice seem worthwhile."
