- Cafeteria renovations and 2-story expansion featuring:
- 2 new serving lines
- Modern seating options to accommodate all students
- A video display wall
- Courtyard renovations (additional seating will be installed this fall)
- New broadcast journalism classroom

Construction will continue throughout the 2025-26 school year with additional classroom/science wing renovations taking place and upgrades in House 2, such as new ceilings and heating, ventilation and air conditioning improvements. The district expects most of the remaining work, including sidewalk and parking lot replacements, to be completed by fall 2026.
