North Central High School
The North Central High School campus was not originally designed to house 1600 students. Two portable additions were added to accommodate students and staff at the site, including use of 'The Annex' (former U.S. Postal Office) on the far northeast portion of the campus. The distance of these additional teaching spaces creates loss of instructional time as students walk from the central campus to the annex, lack of access for students with mobility issues, and lack of supervision and safety to and from the site. In addition, the North Central site lacks the science teaching spaces and equipment that are now standard at the other district high schools, meeting the needs of a more rigorous science curriculum.
Project Estimated Budget: $16 million
