site, and we also communicate very well," she
said."Our superintendents have the experi-

the budget. When we can do that together,
it creates a great environment for everybody."

CONSTRUCTION
In 2014, Turnstone earned two Excellen-

Hall's attic and exterior won an award in the
'Historical Restoration' category, while their
renovations to the Great Bay Community
College (Rochester campus) in Portsmouth
took home an award in the 'Design/Build'
category.

wear these awards proudly within their own
