“Mr. Oakland was instrumental in the passage of the 2012 bond referendum, which brought this athletic complex to fruition,” Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen said. “It is only fitting that we memorialize him in this way.”
The new athletic complex, which took three years took construct, will include full renovations to the district’s track, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse fields, as well as its football facility.
