The Spokane school district multiyear plan to replace the original 1961 school started with adding a new 32,000sf gymnasium to the site in 2015 and then attached a new 97,000 sqft middle school to the gym in 2017. This was all made possible with the $288 million dollar bond passed in 2009 for the gymnasium and the $145 million dollar bond passed in 2015 for the new middle school.
