Campus
editEach of the school's three buildings includes a principal occupant (Library, Gymnasium, or Auditorium) which is used to identify the specific building. The "Library" building contains most of the school's classrooms and the library itself features a glass dome ceiling. In addition to the gym, the "Gymnasium" building includes the school's cafeteria. The "Auditorium" building includes the auditorium and the science and music rooms. Since the renovations, the offices of the high school are located in the West in-fill and the district offices are found in the North in-fill. The renovations also resulted in the enclosure of the school's courtyard into a large atrium.
