A new addition is under construction at Shoals High School that will include a FEMA-funded tornado storm shelter. Built with 14-inch masonry walls and a reinforced structural frame, the shelter will hold up to 368 people and provide strong protection during severe weather. The project also includes two classrooms, bathrooms, and storage space. Shoals Community Schools secured a federal grant covering more than half the cost, making it one of the first schools in Indiana to add a shelter of this caliber. The project is expected to be completed by December 2025.
