History
Renovations
The High School, originally built in the mid-1950s, was once considered old and outdated but has since been fully renovated. It was expanded in the early 1970s and is now some 30 to 50 years old. Nothing else was done to the school until 2006 when the school began a full scale renovation that was finished for the 2008-2009 school year. The school now is up-date in both looks and technology. Other upgrades since the school was constructed include a new elevator that was installed in 2002 at the east end of the school to provide accessibility to the second floor, but given the length of the building a second accessible means of access to the second floor is recommended. In the mid-2000s the school discovered that it had asbestos.[5][6]
