• Creation of a secure entry with a new canopy

• Upgrades to the mechanical systems

• Art Room renovations

• Fine Arts improvements to the stage area

• Audio enhancements in the gymnasium

 

A new addition with a connection corridor at the high school at an estimated cost of $3.87 million to $4.36 million would provide the district with:

• A new ag classroom

• A new Career and Tech Lab

• A new classroom

• Outdoor workspace

• The conversion of some existing rooms

 

Additional contingency costs of up to $1.56 million are included in the architect’s project estimate.
