The new commons area has high ceilings, circular light fixtures, and stairs up to more hangout areas. The space was finished over spring break and is now open for students to spend their downtime in. “The common room isn’t so common, it’s cool. The cool room,” said Luke Hildreth, senior.

The common space has lots of seating areas and high windows. “I’m excited that it opened during spring break,” said Dimitri Ioannou, senior. “We will get to use the space for our last few months of high school.”

Each guidance counselor has their own brand new office. “Given the new space here, there will be lots of opportunities to have more people in my office,” said Mrs. Teresa Marshall, guidance counselor. “We were on top of each other in my previous office. We have a table now, which is something I’ve never had. Also, I can collaborate more efficiently with the social workers, psychologists and other counselors because we are all in one space now.”

The social workers, guidance counselors, and psychologists all share a new space. There is now a hallway dedicated to all of these student services.
