This is my first post about my new school.
I toured the high school campus yesterday with the school director and the construction project manager. The project is doubling the size of the high school building with an additional section on one side of the building and two floors added. The older part of the building is also getting a face lift, inside and out.
On the ground floor a new computer lab and storage areas were added for the IT department. The former computer lab was converted to a library, thus doubling the size of it. My office was moved from the first floor to a more spacious room on the ground floor. It will be better to be in the center of the action as a principal should be. There is also a larger reception area and the science laboratory was improved.
The first floor is the core area for student learning. New mathematics, humanities, and languages classrooms were added. The hallway and stairwell were enlarged, giving the students more space for lockers and to shuttle between classes. Below is a photo of the mathematics room.
The second floor has a spectacular new art studio. The students will be inspired by the expansive views of the southern forests and valleys of Belgrade. The large room will also serve as a place for student assemblies and teacher meetings.
The building is estimated to be done on the 5th of August. The changes will definitely improve student learning!
