School Layout
The entrance to the current high school leads through the main office and to an atrium, housing rest areas and the school library, now shared with the middle school. The high school has three main wings on the first floor, with the first wing originally containing English, Spanish, and the guidance office, and the second wing originally containing mostly social Studies, special education, and science. The two wings were connected by a pair of hallways, one leading to the gymnasium and two smaller classrooms, and the other hallway leading to a wing that protruded westward containing art and technology. A rectangular east wing was also constructed that leads to the cafeteria, as well as housing in-school suspension, and the music classrooms. The second wing contains the school's second floor, originally housing mathematics, French, business, and science. This departmental organization of the School was changed when the Freshmen Academy was added to the high school, with teachers of Grade 9 courses were moved to the second floor, swapping classrooms with math teachers who did not teach Grade 9.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
