Renovation
Renovations to the school were completed, and groundbreaking took place during the Summer of 2006. The project helped to beautify the school, while accommodating more students with new classrooms. Because of the sound structural integrity of the current school facilities, notably the 'Round Building', the general design of existing buildings did not change much. Among the new additions planned is a new cafeteria. The existing lunch room will most likely be turned into an auditorium, of some sort. Portable classrooms were relocated to what was a field, and a new pathway of sidewalks connect them to the rest of the buildings on campus.
After the first semester of the 2006-2007 school year, the school changed their policy on parking due to the construction. Only Seniors with parking permits and staff were allowed to use the parking in the front of the school, while others were required to park in the rear of the school.

Famous quotes containing the word renovation:
“Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
