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:
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The artist must be an egotist because, like the spider, he draws all his building material from his own breast. But just the same the artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
