History

The school was built in the 1950s.
In 1978, a $6 million addition added a new library to the building.
In 2006, planning for a construction project commenced which would renovate much of the school's buildings. The $83 million project included a new classroom wing and new gymnasium, and renovated much of the pre-existing 1978 structure. Most of the initial 1950s building was removed or renovated entirely in this process. Renovations were completed in December 2008.
