About the School
The school was built in 1962 and has completed a five million dollar renovation (Sept 2000). We are organized into five learning communities, each of which has a science / project room, break-out rooms, and the flexibility to open a wall between two of the classrooms to create a large instructional space. Our recent renovations also include the learning resource center (library), band room and four physical education locations (main gymnasium, auxiliary gymnasium, dance / fitness studio and our multi-purpose atrium). Our CTS suite includes art, design lab, food lab and wood shop. The school also features a broadcast studio, drama room and a student cafeteria.
