Since its completion in 2016, Strafford Elementary School has played a vital role in strengthening our community’s commitment to quality education. Funded through local support, the facility provides a well-rounded learning environment that includes a multipurpose gymnasium with a performance stage, a modern library, a full-service kitchen and cafeteria, and over thirty classrooms. It also features dedicated spaces for music, art, computer instruction, and specialized classrooms that support individualized learning needs. Importantly, the school includes hardened classrooms designed to keep students safe by providing secure shelter during severe weather events.

The new secured entrance at the High School provides a controlled, visibly monitored point of entry, directly connected to a centralized office complex that consolidates all administrative functions. This welcoming and secure foyer also connects the existing middle and high school classroom wings through a central vestibule, illuminated by clerestory windows and offering an impromptu space for study and collaboration. The project also included an upgraded school nurse’s facility and enabled the adaptive reuse of the former elementary building—now serving as additional classroom space for both middle and high school students. This thoughtful investment enhances student safety, improves day-to-day operations, and maximizes the use of existing district resources. Following the High School Secure Entrance project, the District Office was relocated into the main High School/Middle School building through a low-impact renovation project. This move created direct secure access between the Superintendent’s Office and building principals, encouraging better communication and stronger administrative support. Relocating the office from temporary trailers also allowed the district to centralize security and IT resources, improving both efficiency and campus safety. Additionally, an existing high school classroom was repurposed into a dedicated School Board meeting room—enhancing community access, engagement, and transparency in district operations.
