TUPELO â¢Â Roughly a year after the pandemic indefinitely delayed construction on Tupelo High School's tiny house, students are now back to work on the project.
Construction first began in Jan. 2020, and although bad weather and preparation for state testing (which ultimately didn't happen that year), construction teacher Scott Bridges was optimistic that the house would be completed by May 2020.
Little did he know, students and teachers wouldn't return from spring break that next week.

Mississippi reported its first confirmed COVID-19 case on March 11, 2020 â just two days after the Daily Journal published an article about the tiny house progress.
