Facility Improvements

We’re thrilled to share with our community that we’ve officially received occupancy approval for the newly upgraded Middle School Complex "Wrestling Room." This marks an exciting step forward in the ongoing improvement of our facilities for students and the broader community.This phase of the project, made possible by your generous support of the Sinking Fund, represents more than just a space for athletics. It’s a symbol of what we can achieve together for the future of our schools and children.

We’ve included a few before-and-after photos so you can see the incredible transformation your contributions have made possible.It is our sincere hope that many of you will soon have the opportunity to see and experience the space firsthand.

Thank you for your continued support—on behalf of the district, our staff, and most importantly, our students.
