Phase 3 construction of the new high school began immediately after the opening of Phase 2 and is anticipated to be complete by December 2024. After Phase 3, all facility construction will be finished and only exterior site work remains.
During this last phase of construction, the athletics wing, outdoor amphitheater, and black box theater will be built. The Red Gym will still be in use for physical education and athletics while the new wing is under construction.
New spaces to be built
During this next phase of construction, the following parts of the new school will be built:
| Educational Space | Description | |
| Athletics Wing |
The athletics wing consolidates and improves the Physical Education (PE) spaces that support the current program and the 30 athletic teams. |
|
| Gymnasium | The 16,000 sf gym includes a walking track and is large enough to fit the entire student body for assemblies. There are two additional PE spaces, one of which will be a Fitness Center and the other will serve alternative PE programs such as dance, climbing, and Yoga. |
|
| Outdoor Amphitheater | The amphitheater is located adjacent to the performing arts wing. It is an outdoor performance and event space that will be used for outdoor classrooms, performances, and gatherings. |
|
| Black Box Theater | This 3,000 sf drama classroom is a flexible space to be used by all arts programs for one-act plays, theater classes, and productions (the photo shows a black box theater from another building project) |
Project timeline
Phase 3 began in November 2023 and is expected to be complete by December 2024. This phase will include the demolition of Fusco House and the Blue Gym. After demolition is complete, sitework, foundation work and new construction will follow for the Athletics wing, Black Box Theater and exterior Amphitheater. Phase 3 is the final building construction phase.
Since the new school is being built on the same site as the old school, the complex project encompasses four phases of construction, with estimated completion of the entire project in 2025.
| Phase | Construction | Where do students attend school? | When? |
| 1 | STEAM & Performing Arts wings | Old high school | Completed February 2022 |
| 2 | Humanities wing, Central Spine, Cafeteria, Library, Preschool, District offices | In new STEAM & Performing Arts wings and part of old high school | Completed November 2023 |
| 3 | Athletics wing | In new school plus Red gym | November 2023 to December 2024 |
| 4 | Finish athletic fields and site work | In new school | December 2024 to September 2025 |
