and includes a Performing Arts Center
(PAC), choir and band rooms, and
several career pathways classrooms,
along with a portion of the library.
Roofing on the Pathways
building is nearly complete and
the siding and exterior block are in
place. The catwalk has also been
installed. The concrete floor in the
seating area of the PAC is being formed
and insulation and sheetrock are being installed in the east wing of the
building.
Students and staff will use the new Pathways building while the second building is
constructed during Phase 2. During this phase, a major portion of the existing facility
will be torn down to make way for the new Student Success building. The main gym,
auxiliary gym, pool and the 300 and 500 hallways will still be in use until the second
building is complete.
