In 2006, the school board approved a plan to regroup grades within its schools, including moving ninth grade students to the high school. $30 million in renovations were budgeted to create space for classrooms and to enlarge other school facilities. although it was perfectly capable of handling 9th grade up to the 1997-1998 school year.
