The performing arts wing opened a year and a half later featuring an 800-seat auditorium a black box theater, set, and scene shop band, orchestra, and chorus classrooms two dimensional art classrooms music theory lab photography lab and dark room and a digital media lab and broadcasting studio. Once the students were relocated to the new construction, the remaining second half of the existing building was demolished. One year later, the second phase of construction opened 87 classrooms, including science rooms the new main entrance, administrative offices and guidance suite media center technology forum room for large group instruction and video conferencing and the cafeteria with kitchen and serving areas. The new state-of-the-art facility included the main gymnasium with seating for 1,500 spectators a natatorium with a 10-lane, 35-meter/25-yard swimming pool with a movable bulkhead and diving boards an auxiliary gymnasium weight training/fitness room wrestling room trainer room team rooms and locker rooms. The athletic wing was the first phase of construction to open for student and community use after 1-1/2 years of construction. This made way for the construction of a new athletic wing and the general classroom wings. The first half of the existing building that was demolished housed general classrooms, an auxiliary gym, and the pool. To create an educational zone separate from the construction zone, existing modular classrooms were relocated on-site, supplemented by a new 2-story structure of modular classrooms for a total of 40 temporary classrooms. Finding the best location for the construction of a new 1,600-student 9–12 high school to replace the existing school was determined to be in its current location, which required careful planning to minimize disruption.
