Construction began in the spring of 2016, and was expected to open in September 2018; however, in July of that year it was announced that it would not be ready. A new completion date was not provided. The new building opened for students on February 4, 2019.Students at the school are involved in Student Council initiatives; international student exchanges; co-curricular programs associated with music, art, and drama; a variety of special interest clubs; and athletics.
