New Building
Construction on the replacement James M. Bennett High School completed 2010, and the school opened for the 2010-2011 school year. Construction began in 2008, with a goal completion date of 2011. The new building includes state of the art technology including geothermal heating control and automated energy-saving lighting and up-to-date educational tools such as LCD projectors, digital whiteboards, campus-wide Wi-FI and TV networks, and document cameras replacing overhead projectors. Eventually Bennett Middle School will be demolished for additional sports fields. The new school was rededicated on April 18, 2011, marking Salisbury's first new high school in more than 30 years.
Below are images of the old Bennett High School prior to demolition.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“People do not know the natural infirmity of their mind: it does nothing but ferret and quest, and keeps incessantly whirling around, building up and becoming entangled in its own work, like our silkworms, and is suffocated in it: a mouse in a pitch barrel.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Marxism is like a classical building that followed the Renaissance; beautiful in its way, but incapable of growth.”
—Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)
