Construction
Two more elementary schools and another middle school are planned. Grove Valley Elementary recently opened in August 2009. All three existing elementary schools have had classrooms added.
The new expansion of the High School is currently done and many teachers have moved classrooms. The current high school building began in the early 1980s as the two short arms (originally intended to form an X shape) that point northeast and southeast on the east face of the classroom building. Since then, it has been expanded several times, more than tripling its original size to accommodate the rapidly growing student body.
A recently passed $142 million bond issue will fund the construction of the 2nd middle school on NW 234th St. near May Ave., a 5th elementary school near NW 150th and Rockwell, several more additions to the high school campus, multi-million dollar athletic and activity buildings including a large gymnasium and attached performing arts center.
