BEECHER, IL – The Beecher Board of Education on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, approved several key contracts to address facility upgrades and pressing operational needs, including the final phase of a door replacement project at the high school.
The board unanimously approved a proposal from C-Craft for $26,473.51 to replace the last six classroom doors in the main hallway of Beecher High School. Superintendent Dr. Jack Gaham explained that this completes a multi-year effort to upgrade all hallway doors to a more secure and modern standard.
