New campus
The school district has built a new, larger high school to replace the existing campus, which was built in 1936. The former campus was overcrowded and run-down, with about 900 students attending a facility built for 500 students.[4] District officials have held bond elections three times so far, once in 2005 and again in February and April 2011, in an attempt to get voter approval of a new school. In February 2017, another election was held and the bond passed with a 73% vote yes.[5] Construction on the new high school began in May 2019 and was finished in 2021.
