The Tartan High School Project is a combination of a renovation and an addition. The addition features a brand-new three-story classroom wing, competition gym, science labs, administrative offices, a black box theater, a new auxiliary gym, and locker rooms that double as storm shelters. The renovation includes renovating every existing room in the building including all locker rooms, rebuilding the kitchen and cafeteria, demolishing the old classroom towers, and renovating the existing gym into a new kitchen and classrooms. The multi-phased project began in March 2022 and is expected to be completed in August 2025.

This shared commitment to excellence creates a foundation for an even brighter future as we continue working together on the Tartan High School project.”
