Specifics:

The new high school will be a two-story building with departmental wings which will include computer banks and wireless technology throughout each wing. The media center, auditorium, commons area and gymnasium will be accessible for public use after school hours. The division of space will promote optimal flexibility as each wing can support several different educational concepts such as a math and science and JROTC. The wings are designed for future growth and expansion.

 

The school design will incorporate energy efficient materials and design solutions throughout the facility. The inclusion of natural light is instrumental in the design. A separate 9th grade academy and vocational wing will also be incorporated into the design.

 

A new 10,000 sf field house will be constructed to support all athletic programs adjacent to the new athletic stadium. The field house will include visitor and home team locker rooms, official’s locker rooms and equipment storage.
