The Art and Industrial Arts rooms will be expanded to provide appropriate space to safely support these growing programs. The expansion of this area allows the Engineering program to co-locate with Art and Industrial Arts. A maker space will be added to this area to create a larger and fully collaborative suite of spaces to support Science Technology Engineering Art and Math programs.

A Secondary School Administration addition will create clear and distinct entry adjacent to the south parking lot. The school administration will have better visibility to the entry area and be located to support secondary students needs.

In keeping with the district goal of expanding resources for teachers, an Elementary School Maker space on the second floor will provide a student access to project-based learning. This flexible laboratory will be equipped with the tools and resources to make hands on project work more accessible to the school.

Biology and Chemistry will be able to expand by removing a smaller classroom between the labs, both rooms are able to become larger creating safer and more usable space to accommodate science lab work.
