INVESTING IN THE FUTURE: PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project has been in the works since November 2024, when voters approved a $29 million referendum. Thanks to the community's support, the project investment will deliver capital improvements, ADA-accessible facilities, a secure entrance, and updated classrooms and libraries.
