North Forsyth's New Gym Tops Out

CUMMING, GA -- A small ceremony marking the completion of the structural steel of North Forsyth High School’s new competition gymnasium took place late last week, according to a report.

The final steel beam lifted into place on Friday bore the signatures of teachers, faculty, and staff, and was topped with a small Christmas tree, honoring a tradition believed to originate in ancient Scandanavia, Forsyth County News reports.

Once the gym is finished in June, the building will contain new classrooms, an atrium cafeteria, additional parking, and a more secure front entrance.

Barton Marlow, the company responsible for building the new gym, donated $10,000 to the school for the purpose of outfitting of the new facilities, North Forsyth High School said on social media.
