According to a press release sent on behalf of Newport Public Schools, among those local leaders in attendance will be;
- Newport Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano
- Newport City Council members
- Newport Public Schools Superintendent Colleen Jermain
- Rebecca Bolan, Co-Chair, Newport School Building Committee

Parking and entrance to the building will be available via Wickham Road. Visitors are encouraged to wear Viking red and black, and to take a walk down memory lane.
