Martin, Wilson Elementary, and High School Undergo Major Summer Renovations with Bond 2022 Funds

This summer brought significant improvements to schools across the district, thanks to the Bond 2022 funds, which aimed to modernize and enhance facilities for students and staff. Martin Elementary, Wilson Elementary, and the high school have all seen exciting upgrades that will benefit their communities for years to come.

At Wilson Elementary, all interior walls were freshly painted, giving classrooms and hallways a bright, clean look. Additionally, the parking lot was re-striped, improving traffic flow and safety.

Martin Elementary received a more extensive overhaul. The school now has a new HVAC system, a new roof, and upgraded plumbing. Along with these infrastructure improvements, the interior has been repainted, the exterior cleaned up, and the parking lot re-striped for added safety and organization.

The high school also underwent significant changes this summer. The cafeteria stage was removed, and the floor was flattened to increase seating capacity and create more open space. The library has been relocated to the front of the building, providing better accessibility, while the Crandall-Community Library has been moved to the Freshman Center. In addition, new bathrooms have been added in the area where the former theater arts room was located, offering improved facilities for students.

All of these changes are in preparation for the construction of a new high school wing, which is expected to be completed by December 2024. This new wing will provide space for an additional 810 students, a dedicated dance studio, and a state-of-the-art theater arts space designed in a "black box" theater style. Furthermore, construction is set to begin soon on a new performing arts center, which will be connected to the high school. This center will offer expanded space for all fine arts programs, giving students the room to develop their talents and grow.

These summer renovations mark a significant step forward in the district's efforts to provide modern, functional spaces for learning and creativity. We are excited about the improvements and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on our students, staff, and community.

We appreciate the ongoing support from our community in making these enhancements possible!
