WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — It was an exciting day for some students in Warner Robins.

According to Al Chromy, the principal at Sacred Heart Catholic School, the new building will allow students to have a whole new set of opportunities.
“It's so exciting because our world is coding,” Chromy said. “Our world is STEM out there.”
According to school officials, the newly renovated building will accommodate the school's growing population and it includes a new stem lab.
What is now the Sacred Heart Middle School building used to have a completely different role. It was previously the parish activity center.
But after the renovations, it now offers a ton of opportunities for the school’s students.
“All these kids will have that opportunity to experience what it is to be in real STEM activities every week,” Chromy said.
