The current building was erected in 1928 for a cost of $275,000.[1] It was extensively renovated in 1985–86, with a second full-size gymnasium added, and the original gymnasium converted into a student center. The basement lunch room was converted into a theater and a Building shop was later turned into a Dance room.
