What do future phases include?

     • Construction of a PK-4 facility as an addition to the 5-8 facility or at a new site

     • Construction of a new transportation center

     • Improvements to the roof, exterior of the existing high school

How will this impact education in Monticello?

     Construction of a new middle school connected to the existing high school will allow fifth through eighth grade students to move from the current middle school. This move will create opportunities for learning spaces and security features lacking in the existing 100-year-old middle school.

     The new building will have a secure entrance, larger classrooms for collaborative learning, and an auxiliary gym with a regulation court. It will be designed for flexibility to anticipate a possible PK-4 addition in the future by strategically locating shared spaces, such as a kitchen, and gym. Co-locating adjacent to the high school will also allow for shared administration offices between the two facilities while also maximizing efficiency of staff and grounds by reducing the number of district facilities.
