The construction of Cleveland High School continues to roll on, as the district tackles the problems one by one.
This time, the school got a big boost from the City of Rio Rancho.

The project is fully funded by a state grant.
“We are talking about starting infrastructure programs,” Mayor Tom Swisstack said. “The waterline is part of putting us in a position to help with any potential development. We have UNM and CNM also coming and this helps us secure more than enough delivery to the respective area in the future.”
RMCI will install 8,200 linear feet of 24-inch waterline and appurtenances. The waterline is divided into two segments with the majority of the construction to occur on 30th Street, north of Northern Boulevard and south of Paseo del Volcan.
The project also includes the installation of 36-inch diameter bore valves along the water line.
Lateral lines ranging in size from six inches to a foot are also required for the project to connect existing waterlines or for the installation of fire hydrants. The project is anticipated to take roughly three months.
The lines eliminate the need for Jaynes Corporation to haul water to the new high school site, which is costly and delays construction.
After the water lines are laid, the city will begin to construct the sewer lines. The construction crews must flush out the pipes in the school and test for leaks. With water lines constructed, that process will be easier.
In addition to water and sewage lines, the city will start working on the roads leading to the school located off Paseo del Volcan near Iris. Cleveland High School is anticipated to be completed by July of next year.
