Junior/Senior High School

Although Clear Lake School District's 91,000 square foot school facility houses both junior and senior high students, the facility was designed to separate the two populations. The six-classroom wing for the junior high has its own commons and restrooms, and separate access to the IMC/computer technology, art, and music areas.

The junior and senior science rooms are contiguous, which allows for the sharing of prep rooms and chemical storage areas.

A competition gymnasium with a 1,200-person capacity can be accessed by students and the public while the rest of the school is closed off for security. The music and IMC/computer technology areas can also be accessed after hours.

"Every project looked great immediately upon completion. Eleven years after the building completion, visitors still think it is a brand new building. It is efficient without being flashy so it has served the students and community very well."

Mark Heyerdahl, District Administrator
