Why did the Board decide to transform the high school?
Fayetteville has outgrown the existing high school facility, which was built in 1952. All of the common areas are small and most fall below state standards. Building safety is an issue with 56 entry doors to the buildings. Parking is inadequate, the band can’t all fit in the band room at the same time, and the 325-seat cafeteria seats less than one sixth of the student body at once. Academic spaces are outdated, and do not afford the flexibility for incorporating newer teaching and learning practices. Additionally, several of our elementary schools have more students than seats available, and our Pre-K program continues to grow. More space at the high school will allow a trickle-down realignment to take place throughout the district, which will ensure adequate building capacity district-wide for many years.
