Called the Lewis and Clark Center, the 96-classroom school along the banks of the Missouri River will replace Bell Hall, the deteriorating 1950s facility that has become cheaper to replace than upgrade. The school will be dedicated Aug. 13, just days before students in Class 2008-01 of the Intermediate Level Education course begin 10 months of resident studies. Ground-breaking for the new building was in July 2004, the anniversary of the nearby passage of Capts.
