[edit] Construction

[edit] Original Building - 1951

The building was first constructed in 1951 with around 15 classrooms. This part of the building is characterized by walls made of drywall.

[edit] Addition - 1971

Around 1971, the school added the 3-story building with at least 30 classrooms. A cafeteria was added on the bottom floor with lockers in the hallway that have not been used since the 2004 addition. The cafeteria remained the same until the 2004 addition. This part of the building is characterized by flimsy whiteboard walls.

[edit] Addition - 2004

In mid 2004, Eckman Construction built further additions for the school. In August 2004, the dining hall was completed. The old gym is now the library. The old locker rooms are now storage. The "new wing" is characterized by cinder block construction. The new classrooms have pod areas similar to the team areas at Derry's West Running Brook Middle School, with a "team area" including classrooms and lockers for that "team".
