Building Layout
The high school consists of three buildings connected by bridges on the upper floors. "A" and "B" buildings have two floors, and "C" building has three.
"A," the original school built in 1926, is rectangular and has an inner courtyard framed by three classical arches. Student and community events are held in the courtyard, and students eat there during good weather. Classrooms in this section were recently refurbished with refinished hardwood floors, new lighting, and a new HVAC system. Language, mathematics and other academic subjects are taught here. "A" also contains the auditorium and the smaller of the school's two gyms.
"B," the smallest section, includes the cafeteria, the wrestling room, and the larger of the school's two gyms.
"C" was added in the 1970s and is home to the science department where labs were recently refurbished. The music department, including band and choir rooms, is on the lower floor. "C" also contains academic classrooms, a home economics room, a wood shop, and the library.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
