Transforming the Old

We helped the district pass a referendum that would transform the high school through major additions and renovations.

Additions to the school include a 3-court, competition gymnasium, a cafeteria/commons, a weight/fitness center, art classrooms, and new space for specialty educational programming.

Major renovations converted the current cafeteria into an auditorium, enhanced the band and choir rooms, provided new family and consumer education classrooms and labs, created a new secure entrance, and transformed the library into a hub for collaboration.

Additional renovations throughout the classrooms and corridors include new flooring, ceilings, lighting, classroom technology, and educational furniture.

Environmental Branding

School Pride Integrated Into Spaces

Environmental branding infuses school pride and enhances wayfinding by bringing spaces to life with visually engaging designs. Our team seamlessly integrated the school’s colors and mascot to create a cohesive and vibrant identity seen throughout the facility.
