The final steel beam of the Lewiston High School addition was signed by school officials, students and staff Monday in a ceremony at the site. The bright blue beam, featuring the word “Welcome†in many languages, will be lifted into place next week to adorn the new front entrance.
Construction on the $13.4 million arts and education wing began in August. It is set to end on time and on budget, expansion committee member Karen McClure-Richard wrote in an email.

Committee member Bruce Damon, who served on the expansion committee, said the new wing would address “serious deficiencies in the building, including security issues.â€
