With a total student body of 751 students, the school has reached a record high enrollment, which has brought challenges.
“We just had to make sure we had enough teachers, enough sections, but the biggest issue we’re having is finding classroom space for the classes, not the number of classes but space, so that’s why we’re glad we’re building another wing next year,” Student Information Coordinator Trevor Swink said.
Principal David Morton expects to break ground in the coming weeks on a new section of the school just north of the theology wing.
“Once the city approves our plans, we’re going to start soon, It’s a 10-month project that depends on the weather,” Morton said. “And you know, we’re coming into the winter months so if we don’t have a really bad winter, then we should be ready to go by August next year.”
He said the building will consist of five new classrooms, two lecture halls, and the advancement offices that are currently downstairs, will relocate to the new wing.
