2006 Bond Program

On November 6, 2007, East Grand Rapids Public Schools received approval by the citizens of our community to renovate and expand its Athletic Facilities through the 2007 Athletic Facility Bond Program. This program will complete a 10 year process of renovating and expanding district facilities to meet the needs of our students. Providing excellent athletic and recreational facilities to support the outstanding programs and opportunities offered to our students and community is vital to the overall success of the school district.

The Athletic Facility Bond program will provide the following to our students and community:

Auxiliary Gymnasium at the High School
Enhanced training facility with updated equipment
A Field Events Center linking the track to Memorial Field providing team rooms, restrooms, track scoreboard and additional concessions.
A plaza surrounding the Field Events Center will provide pedestrian access between the track and Memorial Field, as well as from the main High School parking lot to the City Center building.
Additional seating at the High School community pool
Upgrades to Memorial Field including new lights, sound, press box, scoreboard and synthetic turf
Replacement of Mehney Field synthetic turf
Restrooms and small concession area to support the Canepa Tennis Center
