Environmentally Friendly Building!
The $8.3 million, environmentally conscious school opened in the fall of 2008. The 60,400 square foot facility was built to hold 450 students and features an environmental lab, library with a computer room, two music rooms, an art room, cafeteria, parent involvement center and a multipurpose room that also serves as a FEMA tornado safe room. To coincide with the environmental magnet theme, the school has large windows for natural lighting, preferred parking for fuel efficient vehicles, recycling alcoves in the school, a neighborhood recycling center, an outdoor courtyard as well as a reservoir system that will retain water on site.
