Growth and Expansion
With the growth of Fort Bliss and the troop influx Chapin High School has experienced a large increase in student enrollment. Overcrowding and lack of additional classrooms was addressed in the 2007 EPISD Bond Program in which 12 classrooms were approved to be added to the campus to alleviate overcrowding. Chapin currently has 17 portables, numerous "floating" teachers and a need for additional science labs. Once the new addition that was started in February 2010 is complete the issue will be addressed. The new addition is located by the gym entrance and tennis courts and it is expected to be two stories tall with the capability of being expanded onto in later years.

Famous quotes containing the words growth and/or expansion:
“A revolution is not the overturning of a cart, a reshuffling in the cards of state. It is a process, a swelling, a new growth in the race. If it is real, not simply a trauma, it is another ring in the tree of history, layer upon layer of invisible tissue composing the evidence of a circle.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
