Dawn Of A New Era – Fiber Optic

The City of Tucson fiber optic line went online today at Pueblo.  This upgrade will improve our network speed throughout the school.  The project was started in April of 2010 with the digging and installation of the 12 strand fiber cable.

The fiber optic line will boost our internet speeds.  Pueblo will be able to download instructional materials in the classroom & our labs much faster.  If you’ve surfed the web at school recently, you should notice a much welcomed improvement.

Yellow fiber optic cable making the big difference!

We want to thank TUSD and anyone involved in this project for this huge upgrade.

New Football & Practice Field Grass Project

Pueblo’s football & practice fields will be getting new grass.  A state of the art sprinkler system covering both fields to be compatible with reclaimed water are also being installed. The project officially starts today and will be completed in the Spring of 2011.

Southwest Enviroscapes Inc. started digging for soil samples to determine what type of fertilizer will be used on new field. Heavy machinery will be used to scrape the old grass to make room for the new one.

Football Field is all done! Looks great!

Our athletes will sure welcome the new grass on both fields.  Football field will be done first to be ready for track season & graduation.  The practice fields will be done after the spring sports season.

New Marquee Project Taking Shape

In case you haven’t noticed, our 12th Avenue entrance has changed drastically over the summer.  The entryway construction has been completed and traffic is flowing nicely into Pueblo.

The other part of the project is underway with the construction of the new archway already in place.

The archway will be completed with red masonry as the base in the coming week.  Then we move on to the big one, our new digital marquee.

Stay tuned for updates and news on the completion of this project.

First Glimpse At New Marquee

We just received the first concept artwork from the architect who took all of the Marquee Committee’s suggestions and created a spec for it.

It’s in black and white, but it give us an idea of what will be constructed on 12th Avenue.

The student body and staff is excited about the upcoming changes to the entrance of Pueblo. At the time of this posting Pueblo had raised $42,540 for a new marquee. Thank you to all who donated!

As the City Of Tucson provides more information on the realignment project, we will post the updates on our blog. Look for the changes!
