The main staircase and front entrance are a completely new part of the school.  The staircase features a flag display and overlooks the brand new student commons.

 

The new front entrance features a flag display to represent WJ's diverse student body.

 

The new main office, seen from the main entrance, was completed just in time for the first day of school.

 

Both students and teachers were excited for the new student commons.  As well as hosting various student and faculty events, the commons are a great new place to each lunch or study.

 

The new attendance office is now separate from the main office, making it easier for students to drop off attendance notes and sign in or out.

 

The new back circle includes improved lighting and benches, as well as new sodding.

The back entrance, as seen from the brand new back circle, was completed for the first day of school, and functions as an alternate entrance to the brand new stadium.

Closed for the winter, the newly "turfed" field opened April 14 to host the varsity boys lacrosse team's victory over Paint Branch.
