Building
The Springdale Jr-Sr High School Building features a cafeteria, two gymnasiums, an auditorium, science labs, main office, and several classrooms. It is made up of four main parts: A-Wing, B-Wing, C-Wing, and D-Wing. The latest alteration to the building was completed in May 2011 after the old D-Wing was demolished and reconstructed as a two-story structure with a large skylight in the ceiling. Along with this renovation was the addition of a second gymnasium, which is sometimes considered a fifth wing, the E-Wing.
The C-Wing consists of band, choir, and art classes, the B-Wing consists of science and technology related classes, and the A-Wing and D-Wing contain several regular classes, such as mathematics, English, history, etc.In 1931, the construction of a high school began on Robert W. Carson's (Rachel Carson's father) property facing Colfax Street. The construction was completed in 1932. In 1958, a senior high school was added to the existing school and faced Butler Road. The original building became the junior high school (grades 7-8). Now known as the D-Wing, this part of the school has since been razed and reconstructed in 2011 due to needing several expensive repairs.
