own similarities and differences. Nearly 90 years old, the 1927 building is a significant
portion of the Middle School. The majority of
our buildings and additions were designed and
constructed between 1927-1970. The High School,

opportunity to include flexible, student-centered
learning spaces in our classrooms that support
collaboration, creativity, and project-based learning.
