The Building
The structure consists of the Technical Building, Laboratory Annex, and Malone Hall. In the past the Roosevelt building and new gymnasium area was part of the high school, though now houses Roosevelt Elementary school.
In the summer of 2007 new windows were added to the entire building and security was increased with the addition of security cameras in every hallway. At the end of the 2007/08 school year the high school received new iMacs in every computer lab. In addition, projectors and touch sensitive white boards have been added to most classrooms.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“Writing a book I have found to be like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials. He thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice; but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be a very small performance. The authour however like the builder, knows how much labour his work has cost him; and therefore estimates it at a higher rate than other people think it deserves,”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“And no less firmly do I hold that we shall one day recognize in Freud’s life-work the cornerstone for the building of a new anthropology and therewith of a new structure, to which many stones are being brought up today, which shall be the future dwelling of a wiser and freer humanity.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
