History
Renovation
In 2003, a $3 million renovation and expansion plan was approved by the district and renovations began that year. Due to failures associated with the general contractor, Eastern Contractors Inc., and need for dismissal of the contractor from the project, delays in completion of the renovation project occurred. In 2005, the regional district fired the contractor from the project. The renovations and expansion efforts were completed as a result of efforts by school district representatives in 2008, with the grand opening taking place on September 4 of that year.
