As the new school year has been ushered in, so has the completion of  a new construction project. The grass area between the B and C buildings has been filled in with concrete and replaced with trees, bushes, tables, and benches.

“I kind of have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it takes away from the green grassy area which I thought looked really nice but it’s also useful because it gives people more space for people to walk around when we go to classes,” Tam Le, junior,said.

The administration created the idea to expand the seating area last May. The project came to life from the site administration funds and ASG major projections funds.

“The grass there was really hard to grow and kind of just dirt, so they dug down and filled it with concrete, so kids can sit on it as well,” principal Joshua Eby said.

The administration asked the student government for their opinion.

“They weren’t too (happy about it) so we just decided to start with one area and see how it goes,” Eby said.

There are no plans yet to expand, but new additions to the quad may come in the future.

“We might expand potentially but we don’t want to turn the school into a concrete jungle. We want to keep a lot of grass and trees and we don’t want to do anything without a planter or bush or tree,” Eby said.
