What does the project entail?

A total of 6 classrooms will be added which will provide much needed space required for our HCS programming consisting of:
- The addition of a 4 classroom two-story structure on the south end of the 60's wing
- The Addition of a 2 classroom two-story structure between the 40's wing and 60's wing

Why is the project needed?

Our student population has changed over the years and our delivery of instruction has evolved over the years to meet the needs
Meeting the needs of our students in providing a high quality education requires more breakout and smaller space
Our library is currently less than 1/2 of its original size since due to the need to utilize the space for classroom use
We have one undersized classroom being used currently which limits the # of students in that class, creating inequities for the other students in that grade
The existing 60's wing has a narrow stairwell which creates a risk in the event of an emergency evacuation

How does this project help improve the educational experience for our students?

The additional classrooms will allow the District to ensure all classes are in properly sized classrooms
The addition of 3 breakout rooms will provide appropriate breakout space for specialized instruction
The library will be able to regain its full space
