Photo Gallery: Volunteers Get Lakeside High Ready for School

With just a weekend standing between students and back to school, dozens of volunteers gathered at Lakeside Friday to organize everything that has been packed away during construction. Construction will continue throughout the school year.

Back to school is just a weekend away for students. With three days to go, it's time to pack up the swimsuits and stock up on notebooks.

Construction continues on the new additions to the school, which will include 25 additional classrooms, a fine arts center, technology upgrades and other space expansions.

Yet throughout the construction, students will still have to learn in the building.
