Facilities/layout

The school has two gymnasiums, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The larger gymnasium doubles as an auditorium. The school's original library was converted into a multi-purpose room used for special-education services, and various classes. There is a 50x50 pool also located in the basement floor of the school. There are two portables at the back of the school used for classes. The school is split up into multiple halls, based on the subject. The English, geography, and math halls, as well as the cafeteria are located on the first floor. The science, technology, history and art halls are all located on the second floor, while music is located on the third. The school is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramps and a working elevator.
