Turpin High School - Campus

Campus

The original building was constructed and finished in 1976, but its original design was scaled back and the auditorium was not built. The construction of the auditorium was resumed and completed in 1999. Both the main building and the auditorium are constructed of dark red brick. The main academic building contains 5 stories of classrooms (4 stories in a split-level configuration, plus a basement level which span the length of 3 wings). The campus also includes top notch athletic facilities which include a uniquely shaped baseball stadium (due to a lack of flat land area) which has undergone several major improvements and renovations in recent years (2005-2006). Furthermore, just in time for the 2006 school year, field-turf, a new age playing surface, was installed onto the existing grass football field to improves its durability and allow it to be used for other field sports, such as soccer and lacrosse. A new track was installed during the summer of 2007 along with new shot-put and discus throwing areas. The campus also includes tennis courts, practice fields, softball fields, weight lifting facilities, and track and field areas.
