Story Construction was selected to lead this project as the district’s construction manager. To help the district follow through on its plans to deliver the new facility for the community, the Story team worked through significant supply chain and inflation issues in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic by proposing alternative materials and systems for the addition.

In addition to the new competition gymnasium with three basketball courts, the $25.7 million project included a wrestling room, three locker rooms, a two-story fitness room, and a second-floor walking/running track around the gym’s perimeter, all totaling 93,398 SF of added space. Six new classrooms, a multipurpose area, and more than 55,000 sq. ft. of the existing high school were also renovated.

Groundbreaking for the project was held in April 2021 and construction was completed in October 2022.
