Our renovation is complete!
Here are a few new pictures of our finished media center with
more to come soon:
Our media center is receiving a
renovation! View our latest pictures below of the new
walls on the 6th and 7th grade sides of the media center.
We will continue to post updated pictures as the project moves
forward. The construction will completely enclose us off
of the main hallways and allow for two entrances with double
doors (front hall and 8th grade hall). We are excited
about the renovation and how it will positively impact media
center instruction and research.
