Renovations
The middle/high school recently underwent a $25 million renovation and additions project which is LEED Silver certified. The HVAC system has been converted to using geo-thermal energy to help reduce dependence on foreign oil as well as save money. A six thousand gallon cistern collects gray water to operate toilet facilities on all three floors of the building. The building features 21st century classrooms wired for technology, an 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) auxiliary gymnasium and a new 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) main gymnasium which seats approximately 1,500, a state of the art auditorium which seats 800, and state of the art technology education, agricultural education, and technology labs. The building is fully accessible to handicapped students and patrons.
