Walls raised on new Heelan High School gymnasium

Heelan Catholic Schools athletics project is moving forward as crews raised the walls for the new Bishop Heelan High School Gym Wednesday morning.

The new $3 million dollar gym will replace the cramped gym Crusaders fans affectionately call "The Pit."

It will have 1,600 seats as well as a track around the top, new locker rooms and training facilities.

Heelan expects the new gym to be ready for the start of the 2019 school year in August.
