        • McAuliffe STEM Academy Open House & Tours

          The 50,000 square foot addition to McAuliffe is the first major project to be completed that was funded through the 2019 bond issue. It includes a larger gymnasium, new secure front office and entrance, expanded cafeteria, new STEM labs and a new wing of classrooms. This addition means that 16 portable classrooms will be removed from the campus and all students will be learning inside the school.

        • McAuliffe STEM Academy Design Advisory Group Update

          McAuliffe STEM Academy K-8 is the first school to undergo a major renovation through the 2019 bond issue. McAuliffe, previously an elementary school, became a K-8 school in 2016, and the enrollment of the school has grown significantly. The school is currently about 450 students over capacity, and many classes are being taught in portable, temporary buildings. The cafeteria is inadequate to serve all students, and the gymnasium is too small for middle school sports.
