Middle School Academic Wing – $500,000
While the exterior of the Middle School Academic Wing will remain as we know it, the interior will be transformed and expanded into bright, inviting spaces housing Language Arts, History, and Math classrooms and serve as a meeting space for the Student Government Association. The 1,400 square foot pad, poured in 2012 as a place-holder footprint for expansion, will serve as the foundation for new construction on the back of the existing Middle School.
