Our
newest project, The Exploration Center,
consists of a building housing three sections; a science wing,
a computer lab, and a library, each allowing the school to
fulfill its role in serving our community. Ground was broken
on this building July 2003 and opened for students in December 2004.
The
Science Lab.
The Science lab is a distinctive community resource,
unlike any facility in our region. It houses laboratory
stations with counters, sinks, charts, equipment for experiments,
computer stations, a projection system, safety equipment,
measuring devices, and display cases; the type equipment needed
to provide outstanding learning opportunities for
students, pre-professionals, and credentialed teachers.
The
Library.
The library consists of a literacy center with facilities
for programs such as our free adult literacy classes, a “great
room” with comfortable chairs for reading, and an
extensive collection of books and literacy materials. The
Family Literacy Program offers English language instruction
and parenting classes, conducted during evenings and weekends,
for parents who do not speak English as their primary language.
The
Computer Lab.
The computer lab consists of 31 computers, a projection
device, an interactive whiteboard, digital movie production
equipment, printers, and network connectivity. This room
offers outstanding learning opportunities through our after school programs
such as a digital imaging class taught by a Brooks Institute
of Photography graduate.
