This year’s construction projects in and around Frazee-Vergas high school, along with upcoming budget cuts, past efforts and a familiarity with the district, were reasons put forth by school board chair Thaddeus Helmers on extending the contract of superintendent Terry Karger for another three years.

Each week, superintendent Terry Karger updates the construction and accessibility at the school and district sites. The entire district buildings and grounds, with the exception of the south end of the high school and the baseball and softball fields / playground, is considered a construction site. Visitors are advised to keep out.
