CATE teacher Maddie Kauffman uses a brand new classroom space to teach her entrepreneurship students.
CLA invested in a $150,000 construction project to improve the educational experience for students.
Under the leadership of Ms. Oskin, the school added new classroom space on the east side of campus, as well as improvements throughout the building including new microwaves and vending machines in the cafe.
"We invested in the new upgrades for our students so they have a nicer area to have classes and a comfortable environment for lunch," said Oskin.
Additionally, the school invested in a new music room with soundproofing, supplies for the Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) program, and improvements to the school store including a new sink and refrigerator.
Ms. Oskin believes that the changes will have a positive effect on student culture.
"I feel like the impact is to show a bit more pride in their school when the school looks nice and when they know that the school has been improved for their sake," said Oskin. The recent improvements are just the beginning of an expanded improvement plan. "Within the next year, we would like to add on some additional office space upfront and close in some areas to create additional classroom space," said Oskin.
