More than a year ago, 10 schools in Joplin were either damaged or destroyed as a result of tornadoes that devastated the Missouri school district. As part of the city’s Walk for Unity held this past May 22, the district held groundbreakings for Joplin High School, Franklin Technology Center and two additional schools. According to a recent article on The Joplin Globe, as part of the Walk for Unity thousands traveled the reverse of the tornados’ path. Since the 2011 natural disaster, district officials state that the total cost for all of the district’s rebuilding projects is estimated at $185 million.
