In 1978, the school district decided to make extensions to the school; this construction was completed in October 1979. The extension included a new cafeteria, gym, chorus room, and band room. The original cafeteria was demolished and turned into the faculty parking, the Girls Gym was changed into the Library and Girls Gym changing room was remodeled into the Home Ec rooms, the Boys Gym was remodeled into the Tech Ed room, the Boys Gym changing room was changed into the Woodshop room, and the chorus and band rooms were bricked off. In 2005, an addition was made to the school, the weight room, where all students and faculty are allowed to work out from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday. In 2013, the school installed a new turf field in front of the building, replacing the old turf which was worn and damaged after years of use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「G. A.
