Starting in September, you will see two security monitors around the high school and attending various events. The security monitors will help with the overall safety and security of the high school while monitoring the bathrooms to ensure the students follow the school rules and procedures. Both of our security monitors come with a wealth of experience of working with students in schools.

The maintenance and facilities departments have been busy during the summer to enhance the facilities for the upcoming school year. Below are a few of the highlights along with some pictures.

HS

Both the East and the West cafeterias have been updated to increase the efficiency of the space and enhance the appearance. We continued to replace ballister lights with LED lights that are more efficient.

MS

We added a security vestibule to the middle school main entrance. This caused us to reorganize the main office to support the new traffic flow. We also updated the PA system at the middle school, added electronic door locks and added security window film all to enhance the security of the school. We also replaced all of the lights in the classrooms, hallways and offices with LED lights

At the June 10 Board of Education meeting, the Board approved an architect to finalize the plans to build an auditorium onto the High School. This project will be fully funded using Federal Impact Aid and capital reserves. This construction project will not increase the taxes in our community. It is expected that the district will go out to bid for the auditorium construction in the Fall of 2024. We will continue to update you throughout this process.
