This
new state of the art school accommodates 1,600
students. The structure consists of two stories
and contains two distinctly separate elementary
and junior high schools. The site accommodates
parking, bus loading areas, athletic fields, running
track, and bicycle/walking trails.
The junior high portion (grades 7/8) contains
classrooms, a gym, library, cafeteria and offices.
The elementary school portion (K-6) has a multipurpose
room, library, cafeteria and a covered play area.
One of the unique features of this school is the
built-in flexibility. Two independent cafeterias
can be opened into one large assembly area, which
can be further expanded into the adjacent multipurpose
room to make an even larger room.
