Washington High Renovation

SCPS has started the renovation of WHS.  The first phase involves the relocation of the band and chorus rooms and a portion of the locker rooms on the first floor as well as the recreation of the mechanical room to the southwest corner of the building.  On the second floor we will redistribute square footage to create additional classroom space and provide a self-contained computer lab and science labs for the 8th grade Academy.
