ROSAMOND — A giant hole in the ground with a large mound of dirt in the center served as the setting for a Friday morning groundbreaking ceremony at Tropico Middle School.
No, the school isn’t getting a swimming pool. The hole in the ground is for a future retention basin. Tropico will get seven new buildings that will house a total of 28 classrooms, or four classrooms per building. Two of the classrooms will be designed to accommodate students with special needs. There will also be two makerspace labs to continue the District’s work with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics).
