High School Updates

The district’s newest high school, Northern High, is rapidly moving towards completion and opening in January 2008. When it opens, the school will have a classroom capacity of 1,210 students and a core capacity of 1,600 students. Positioned adjoining the Northern Middle campus, the high school almost looks complete at first glance. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing work is in progress, and a large portion of the second-floor ceiling grid is installed. Workers are putting the final touches on light fixtures, air condition grills and diffusers on the second floor while the ceramic tile in the bathrooms is underway. The walls are primed, and many have their first coat of final paint.
