The gym was under construction at the end of the 2020 school year but construction finished in the Summer of 2022. The design of the new gym complex is sleek and modern. They added another gym, some small classrooms, and new technology like TVs, speakers, and a tablet that is on top of the building to keep a record of different athletes’ statuses.
