ASHEVILLE — Students at Asheville Catholic School will notice new flooring when they return to school this month. All classrooms in pre-kindergarten through third grade have new flooring, as well as the hallways, offices and meeting spaces.

“We’ve got our new flooring installed, and it looks amazing!” said Principal Mike Miller.

Other enhancements to the school over the summer include the installation of security cameras around the perimeter of the building. The cameras were installed to update security measures at the school, allowing officials to monitor and record activity using the latest technology.

“This is part of our work to enhance the safety of our school,” Miller explained.

Asheville Catholic School will kick off a capital campaign this fall to raise funds to make major renovations to the school that include a 12,000-square-foot addition to the existing building. Organizers hope to celebrate a groundbreaking for the new wing in the spring.
