Kirby Ekstrom, North Branch Area Public Schools Board Chair, inserted the official time capsule into the niche at the high school addition, during a project dedication at the September 6 Open House.  A brick mason immediately walled it in.  The district officials unveiled the community fitness facility, site additions, major repairs and building makeovers for the public to tour.  There are more projects being worked on into next year.  School district voters supported a May 2017 referendum, approving borrowing for new structural projects, enhanced security, replacing roofs, etc.
