Over the summer months while the students and staff are away enjoying their vacation, the new science labs will begin construction in the main building in the science hallway.

“They’re adding 4 new science rooms with phenomenal labs,” Biology teacher Joe Brocksmith said. “It will mainly be the Chemistry classes that will be getting them which makes sense because they honestly need them the most.”

The need for expansion of the labs was brought to the attention of the board. They then put the issue on the voting ballot in fall of 2008. The vote went through and the new chemistry labs will be ready for use some time next school year. Many of the science teachers will benefit from this new addition.

“It will allow more space in the lab so there is an opportunity for students to work individually and not pair up.” chemistry teacher Karen Hill said. “More space is going to be conducive for students.”

Many students are already looking forward to the expansion.

“I really think the labs will be an improvement,” Briona Perry said. “It will give us a better experience too.”
