Several hundred community members, students, construction firm representatives, teachers and school staff, and members of the Quillayute Valley School District Board who worked on initiating, funding and overseeing the project.
Tours of the new school building were scheduled to run from 5:30 through 7:30 p.m. later in the day. Students led community members on a tour following the ribbon cutting.
