History

The high school located on 201 E. Stuart Roosa began being built in 1972. [2] The construction team began working on "the pit" during this time. The name of the pit has an unknown origin, but its name derives from the floor which is recessed into the ground made for tables and chairs. The structure of the specific area is an H-block which splits the 100, 200, 300, and 400 hall into the shape of a capital H. [2]

In 1997, the 600 hall began construction, and it didn't finish until 2002. [2] In 2008, the 900 hall, also known as the freshman center, was completed. [2] The same year, the 700 hall was established in the Robson Performing Arts Center. [2]

In 2021, the most recent addition to the school was added, the STEM building. [2] It serves the new 500 hall, which is a collection of classrooms themed around Technology and Engineering. This extended the original, main entrance. Which in result, made the original entrance difficult to see.
