Lighting upgrade coming to De Pere High School auditorium

De Pere school board members have approved an upgrade to the high school auditorium lighting.

The current house lighting system is 44 years old and is original to the Wisconsin school, which opened in fall of 1977.

Pat Meyer, grounds superintendent for the district, said the lighting system uses halogen bulbs, and with new technology, more lighting products use LED bulbs, making finding the old halogen ones difficult.
