WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL FAIRMONT CARDINALS!
We are proud of providing students with opportunities that prepare them for the future. However, our aging buildings require critical updates to serve our students and staff well.
1️⃣ Our buildings require critical physical facility improvements to continue serving our students and staff well:
🏫 Our elementary school, built in 1954, needs major updates, including a new elevator, exterior doors, skylight seals, windows, and classroom flooring.
🏫 Many classrooms in our junior/senior high school lack windows, impacting students and staff. Several areas need updates, including lockers, locker rooms, flooring, and door and window sealants. Additional single-stall showers are needed, and failing wastewater pipes require replacement.
2️⃣ Our junior/senior high school needs additional, improved, and reconfigured space to support our students and staff well:
🎶 Our band, choir, orchestra, and theater programs lack adequate space. Band and choir rehearse in the basement without bathrooms, orchestra students practice in the performing arts center, carrying large instruments daily, and the band cannot practice together until performance day.
🔒 Safety and security are a top priority. While our junior/senior high is safe, the current entry setup limits face-to-face visitor screening, and students are exposed to the weather without a breezeway between the main building and CTE addition.

📢 Over the past year, we have worked through a long-range planning process to further understand, identify, and prioritize our facility and educational space needs.
⚙️ We completed a comprehensive facility assessment, analyzed our educational programs and support spaces, completed utility, roofing, and financial analyses, hired an experienced project team, and gathered internal and stakeholder feedback.
Head over to FairmontBond.com/process to learn more about how we've reached this point.
