Middle School Projects

At the middle school level, major improvements will include...

  • enhancing safety and security by constructing an outdoor canopy to improve visibility to the main entrance, updating security cameras and PA systems, installing two-way communication systems between classrooms and the main office, and replacing windows, shades, and interior corridor fire doors.
  • updating the learning environment in the oldest area of the building (the sixth- grade wing) that wasn‘t renovated with the 2005 bond. Updates will include replacing select interior doors, frames, hardware, ceiling tiles, floors, furniture, and classroom cabinets.
  • updating the infrastructure to improve operating efficiencies by renovating restrooms, installing a single-use restroom, and improving student comfort by adding air conditioning throughout the building. (Note: air conditioning will be installed at the middle school this summer through revenue the school district received from ESSER funds.)
