The first phase focused on upgrades to the electrical system, restrooms, doors & hardware and locker replacement.

The second phase was an upgrade to the facility that houses its technology curriculum along with a retrofit to accommodate the relocated arts, crafts and photography curriculum.

The third phase is the primary campus improvements phase which essentially modernized the majority of the campus facilities including complete classroom renovations, replacement of exterior window walls, several new and renovated science classrooms along with an accommodation of numerous other requested upgrades.

The fourth and final phase focused on the complete renovation of the gym / shower / locker complex along with the expansion of the Student Center and replacement of the food service kitchen facilities. The Student Center expansion project provided a much needed and anticipated place for student gatherings and community events.
