✓ Career and Technical Education (CTE) Space

• • • Update and reconfigure CTE shops and classrooms to suit current and future programming needs.

    • WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

      • • The current CTE space is outdated and lacking the tools and machinery needed to help students learn and practice critical 21st Century skills.

        • We need to properly prepare our students for career opportunities in response to the growing demand for skilled trades in construction/woods, manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, and family and consumer science.

        • CTE programs benefit all students and help them gain employment and life skills, technical knowledge, and the training they need to thrive in the workforce of tomorrow. 

        • CTE and career-ready programs offer the greatest chance for students sticking with school, graduating, and pursuing a career right out of high school, or choosing to enroll in college. 

✓ Media Center

• • • Remodel the media center to provide students with resources and technology to improve teaching and learning. 

    • WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

      • • The new center will provide much-needed additional collaboration and/or breakout space, as well as updated technology to support students and online or distance learning opportunities.

✓ Computer and Digital Lab

• • • Remodel computer lab/Makerspace and remodel digital lab to support programming needs.

    • Update space to support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) and Makerspace programming to include equipment, materials and tools that promote innovation and creativity.

    • Add new finishes, flexible furniture, and power distribution to support programming.

    • WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

      • • Our classrooms and labs are outdated and limit our ability to incorporate the latest technology and equipment needed to offer critical real-world, hands-on learning opportunities. Expanding or updating these spaces would increase and enhance program offerings for all students.

✓ Building Addition

• Create a music suite within the new building addition.

• Remodel existing band room into choir room, practice rooms, and storage. 

• Create new weight and fitness room, receiving area, changing rooms, and restrooms.

• WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

  1. • • • The existing band room is inadequate in size, featuring a tiered floor that raises accessibility concerns. Additionally, the ceiling height falls below the recommended standards. 

         • The choir room is situated in a regular outdated classroom, which restricts collaboration and sharing of resources.

         • The current weight room is situated inconveniently on the stage within the gymnasium, suffering from severe space constraints and limited accessibility.

         • Music programs play a crucial role in fostering cognitive, emotional, and social development among students while enhancing the overall school environment. They provide opportunities for self-expression, creativity, teamwork, and personal growth that contribute to well-rounded individuals and thriving schools.
