St. Michael's School in Pincher Creek is in the midst of renovations for the building's modernization project.  Demolition of the south end of the building has begun.  The area that used to house the chapel, kitchen, offices, and Mr. Smith and Mrs. Charette's rooms are now being prepared or cleared away to make room for the new construction.  Some of the upcoming changes include a multiple use Career and Technologies Studies area, a large commons area, and to include more natural light through larger modern windows.   Grades K - 8 are taking classes at St. Michael's while other grades are in Foothills Church for the duration of the construction.  Construction is projected to be completed within two years.
