The new 310,000-sf building, being constructed on a 31-acre site within close proximity to the existing, occupied school, is designed with separate entrances and wings for central administration offices, a three-story middle school and four-story high school connected by common facilities at the main level, including a premier auditorium and performance stage, two separate dining rooms, two gymnasia, and support spaces for athletes.
Designed by SLAM, the building’s exterior features a modern curtainwall that infuses natural light and a brick façade that nods to the region’s rich beginning as an industrial leader. The interior spaces will foster hands-on learning in an environment that embodies the school’s mission – to provide students with a learning experience that will support their futures and careers.
Phased construction began in Fall 2022. The high school wing opened to students in January 2025. The middle school wing will be completed in time for the 2025-26 school year. Demolition of the original high school and construction of the new gymnasium and athletic fields will begin in March 2025, with a planned completion date of January 2026.
The new structure is being built adjacent to the existing high school, which remained operational during construction.
