AUDITORIUM PROJECT
The auditorium was originally constructed as a multipurpose gymnasium and assembly space in the 1920's. The 1950's brought construction creating the sloped floor space that stands today. With 900+ seats and completed in 1957, only minor cosmetic upgrades have occurred over the last half-century. The auditorium is an integral part of the school system and community and a makeover was long overdue. A committee was formed in 2009 and renovation plans were quickly under way. The Alumni Association is the financial steward for the project and we’re counting on Alumni to help turn the outdated auditorium into a 21st century state-of-art teaching, assembly and performance space!
