Project Complete

Floor-to-ceiling windows; natural light, a modern feel, and visibility are just a few benefits that the front-entry facelift provides to students, staff, and visitors.

In the past, it was easy for visitors to drive down Woodland Hills Drive and not realize they've passed by the school because the front entrance to the school is hard to see from the road. "Now, the front entrance is pronounced and easily identifiable,"" said Principal Wes Solomon.

Building Trades Shop

KPHS architecture and building trades students were previously in two separate locations --- planning, designing, and creating models indoors, but constructing structures outdoors near the tennis courts. With the creation of one interior shop, students can now conduct all of their work indoors. "The biggest factor to building a construction project is adhering to a strict timeline based on the variable of weather," said Solomon. "An inside building classroom eliminates the weather element and allows the project to stay on schedule."

Culinary Classroom

The new culinary classroom features state-of-the-art equipment and additional space for aspiring chefs and food-service professionals.

"We have never had a culinary program, at KPark," said Solomon. "Our students who were interested in the culinary program had to travel across the district to Summer Creek High School for that program."

Now, students can stay on their home campus and receive education and training in their field of interest.
