A Grand Facility

BSSD’s newest facility was unveiled to the public in late August during a ribbon cutting ceremony of the Annette Seago Career Innovation Center. A crowd of more than 500 received its first look at the new building made possible through community support of the 2024 bond issue.

Current and former educators, community leaders, local business partners, and parents attended the ceremony, which celebrated Dr. Seago and provided a hands-on tour of BSSD’s newest building.

 After the ribbon cutting, visitors toured the building, interacting with CIC students and learning about the variety of Real World Learning programs available. Food prepared by Culinary and Hospitality program members was served in the building’s full kitchen and restaurant, Next Course Social, as were beverages
and treats in the Little Blue Mug.

The public saw firsthand areas dedicated to Aviation, Culinary and Hospitality, Sound Engineering, eSports, Professional Studies, Gaming & Technology, Medical and Health Science, Business, and Teaching and Education.  

“It was an amazing event and the excitement from the community matches what we have seen from our students and staff,” CIC Director Andy Mayfield said. “To see so many people who have been a part of our district’s history and Blue Springs history and helped make this facility possible was a great feeling.”

Thank you to the Blue Springs community for its support in making the CIC possible and for helping BSSD celebrate its grand opening.
