To maintain the feeling of “a small school within a large school” by creating a lower academic house (Grades 9-10), an upper academic house (Grades 11-12), and effectively located common areas.

• Upper and lower houses, each of three floors, provides for school within a school scheduling options.
• Upper House located near student parking area
• Arts Wing and Athletic Wing promotes sense of community
• Division of Academic Areas and Core Facilities by a common concourse makes for more efficient student travel in the building
• Core areas easily accessible during and after school
• Assistant Principal suites located on each of the floors
• Guidance and support services easily accessed from both houses
• Large group instruction room easily accessed from both houses
