Over the summer, six portables were added to the campus in order to accommodate the school’s increasing population, with only two portables being utilized.

With the increasing population of the school, the administration decided to add 4 portables at the rear of the campus. The addition of the portables resulted in extra classrooms for teachers that had to float last year.

“It’s a little hot but once you close the door it gets cooler. It smells kinda like vanilla Christmas tree,” sophomore Chandler Heupel said.

With the additional building that took place as a result of previous bonds, these portables needed to be relocated to another campus. As a result, two portables are now providing additional classroom space, primarily for the “floater” teachers and some semester classes. However, there are some disadvantages to having a class that’s separate from the main building, according to junior Hannah Shultz.

“I mean it’s really cold in there so that’ really good because it’s usually hot outside. It smells really nice actually so yeah it’s enjoyable. I really don’t mind it,” Shultz said.

However, the transition from classroom to portable may take some getting used to.

Going into the portables has been quite an adjustment for the students due to almost informal environment.

“It’s pretty cool in the [portable] I’m in [portable 1A]. The one next door doesn’t [have air conditioning] but ours does,” senior Lindsey Kearns said. “It’s kind of weird because it has the elementary desks- it’s like you can stick your stuff in there.”

Given the fact that the portables are located around the ROTC and athletic buildings, the daily hike to and from these classes may also take a while to get used to.Due to so many students at the school, getting to class on time is becoming more and more difficult.

“Most days I’m still trying to figure out the easiest way to avoid traffic. It’s hard,” Kearns said.
