OXFORD — Framework is in place and brickwork is progressing on the new Oxford High School.

Tim Prewitt, who oversees the work for Eley Guild Hardy, the school district’s architecture firm for the project, tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal the project’s January 2014 opening target is still doable.

Oxford School Board members voted yesterday to hire the firm to design an estimated $700,000 renovation that will be carried out at Oxford Elementary School this summer.

The project will rework restrooms and rearrange office space and some of the unique learning space called the Oxploratorium.
