what's a call I have so many people to think so I have what caveat before I start if I leave somebody out I apologize now I'll do something I'll put your name out when we get through I do apologize we got so many people who we are blessed to have here today for such a historic occasion I'm going to start running down the list I'm going to have very brief remarks after work then I will recognize our first speaker on the dice when I started in  officially January what 2014 when we were allowed to start a new school district I quickly saw how lucky I was in my luck very quickly came true because I have the best school board in the history of man I have work several jobs and I have not been asked fortunate to have that relationship this land and this groundbreaking represent the efforts of a few and the will of many  I think everyone here today recognizes the importance of our school and I said on many occasions that the fabric of any Drake Community is great Public Schools you know in terms of size and cost this is by far the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the town of Collierville in the school board and administration are fully cognizant the importance that it will play to our children and our town  lunch completed we fully expect the new Plainville High School to be one of the key assets to this community  and to expand dramatically the educational options available you are high school students  have seen a vision you're carrying out that vision matching that with the learning space that allows students to continue to grow when I look at what this is going to hold it's pretty inspiring you're going to have a space that's second to none for our students as they moved towards stem Fields really think about the science technology engineering you're going to be housing students who will be the future of that work here in Tennessee and certainly in Collierville also thank you very proactively and how you think about this building and its uses around technology turn up the very best that we can afford and possibly provide for them  Educators today and become aware that the relationship between my facilities in learning is very close they not only improve the physical environment for the student but they also stimulate that learning environment when this new educational campus is complete it will provide an engaging learning environment where students build their capacities and aspirations with the support of their tea and their community and I can only imagine the excitement of the first day of class if this new facility that will be change those teachers those students the administration and the town of Collierville it'll be another great day your data when I see your data it speaks volumes for you you're a level 5 District  not many of those across the state you also have an average ACT in Collierville of a 24 that is the second highest in the entire set give yourselves a hand so the work that you're doing in Collierville to make sure we have the next generation of students is remarkable its leading in the state even though you're over here in the corner of West Tennessee you're really a bright spot right in the middle of our state for folks to look at you're a lighthouse for work we appreciate the work that you do I want to say to the Educators principals who are in the room I know this has been a challenging year but thank you play the work that you're doing we could not do what we do without you leadership matters and great teachers in classroom matter what brand is nothing but dirt just grass and dirt however this dirt much like the students of Carterville high school has the potential to become a beautiful part of society I know the worker architect who built the school with your fantastic job because they are part of Carnival  this is not to say the car evil is a perfect town There's no such thing however difference between us and other town is it whenever we hit a bump in the road we fix the entire Road there hasn't been an easy Road and bringing this new school and reality and their novative will be problems building it but this journey does not have problems in our system it reflects life is not straight Chopsticks s it's a series of goals riddle failures the most capable people are people who learn from these and move past them and learn from them and I know the other Town Coralville can deal with anything that's way I continue to think more about it and then this day and and thinking about all of the effort that's going into it in the footprints that we are making on this ground on this very very special occasion I thought about all of the footprints that will come from the construction Crews and The Architects and engineers and designers all Lee get off to the most valuable for France and those will be of our students when we open up in the fall of 2018 I thought about my own kids tripping Bell and all the playful kids in Collierville my wife and I moved out here just a few years ago and I can't tell you how much we love this place  one town School everyone a dragon
