As students walk from class to class in their daily struggle of schoolwork and after-school activities, most are probably not aware of the facility renovations that took place over the summer to brighten up the school. Assistant principal Kevin Mount said that the school hired Valley Concrete to do concrete work in five places on campus that were considered safety hazards. Asphalt work was also done on campus during the summer, with the most notorious spot being next to the redwood trees, where the trees’ roots were pushing up the asphalt. Additional renovations took place in the hallways. Mount said that the ramps by the 500s and 700s wings were also repaired, and workers also painted a new walkway to the crosswalk by the sign in front of the school. Mount said that with the renovation of the turf field, the construction for the new Sports Plaza is starting up after football season ends. A room in the music quad, due to its deterioration, is scheduled to be torn down and rebuilt. “Right now, we’re waiting for [school reconstruction plans] to arrive so we can strategize what buildings need to be rebuilt and refurbished,” Mount said. 3 views this week
