Campus
High School campus in 2009.

The building itself has been expanded several times from its original configuration, with additional wings built over the years, including an auditorium and choir/band room. In the summer of 2005, a new middle school was built, and the district's original middle school, which was attached to the high school via a single narrow hallway, was incorporated into the high school. A new main entrance, library, and atrium were built in what was formerly an open courtyard between the high school and middle school. Also in the summer of 2009, there was a new choir room acoustically built for the choir members.

The building has three offices: a technology department, an attendance office, and a central office. The campus itself also has two basketball courts, a football field (with Fieldturf, and press box), a theater, two acoustic rooms for choir and band practice, A softball field, a baseball field, and a multi-purpose room mostly used for wrestling. In the fall of 2009 the north annex, the old central office, was added to the campus located to the north of the main high school building. In the fall of 2016 the south annex, formerly Paxton elementary school was added to the campus.

gollark: I have no idea. A given commit?
gollark: What?
gollark: People's programs really need to *not* just download the master branch of skynet's code. `enchat3` new installs are now broken because the current client up there doesn't work with the skynet server, pending user feedback.
gollark: 1. introspection modules negate many uses for it2. claims mean it's harder to retrieve failing ones, place waypoints, and set safe paths
gollark: Don't worry, all it did was load up stuff from the web, I can rewrite it.
