We’re celebrating our 95th anniversary!

March 11 will mark the 95th anniversary of our founding! And that isn’t the only important date we are celebrating this year. Today is our 10th anniversary of reopening following a $9.2 million renovation funded by a Donald W. Reynolds Foundation grant! Additionally, the January 14, 2012, reopening is when we changed our mission to have a science, technology, engineering, arts and math focus! We have an exciting year planned of connecting the dots of our past to discover our future!
