Middle School
The Greencastle-Antrim Middle School is most in need of general maintenance with some areas most critical to meet high quality standards consistent with the GA reputation. Hallways and stairwells are used for small group instruction spaces. The exterior of the building needs professional cleaning to remove the darkened stains from the brick and concrete. A space that was once used as a planetarium remains empty, but not conducive to instructional space due to the carpeted walls, dome ceiling, and limited lighting. The Middle School girl’s locker room will also need attention. More information is needed to proceed with a plan. The boys locker room was updated more recently.
High School
At the high school, the priority is to address the antiquated science labs with updated facilities that match the demands of modern science careers for research and development and can accommodate our growing STEAM program. GAHS students and community may benefit from a refreshed cafeteria environment with flexible seating options. Additionally, our high school gymnasium does not accommodate for specialized seating or easy mobility in the bleachers. We cannot accommodate the high school wrestling program at the high school facility. Wrestling is housed in the primary school.
GASD also believes that moving the high school Digital Foundations course requirement to the middle school as students are engaged with technology at a much earlier age now. GASD would like to replace that .5 high school credit with a course specifically targeting financial literacy as aligned to our GASD core competencies.
