Middle School Renovations We are in the second phase of a three year district renovation plan. South View's renovation is almost complete, and the renovation of North Ridge Middle School is underway. East Park School will be updated in the summer of 2013. These three large buildings were constructed as junior high schools in 1961. These needed updates will improve our students' learning environment as well as position these facilities for continued service in the future. The planned renovations will be budgeted to not affect the local school tax rate. Take a look at the construction from the beginning!
