CHECOTAH, Okla. — Checotah Public Schools is in the process of constructing a $15.4 million high school that will be powered by geothermal energy, a renewable resource. Construction will be completed by fall 2012.

The 120,000-square-foot school was slated for completion in 2011 but construction delays and bad weather pushed the timeline back.

Wet weather caused several of the construction delays at the site, including the inability to use cranes to hoist beams into place.
