Why is the District proposing to add a third gymnasium to Longview High School?
With the current layout of the high school campus, the Physical Education students share locker room space with the students who participate in our athletic program. By adding the proposed PE/Practice gym, the students who are in the Physical Education program will have their own locker room and their own gym to use during the day. Furthermore, when both existing gym facilities are in use, the students who play in the “green gym” have to walk outside across the campus to go practice or play a game. The proposed new PE/Practice gym will be connected to the Coliseum, so students will not have to walk across the campus during inclement weather in order to practice. The new PE/Practice gym will have a regular hardwood court. Currently, the “green gym” does not have a playing surface that is usable for basketball. This will allow additional use for after-school activities.
