The Health and Wellness Center program sought to support a wide range of needs for both the school district and the surrounding community. Throughout the school day, the Center serves as an academic space for active learning opportunities including physical education, health, physics, and engineering. After school, the all-weather space accommodates team practices including wrestling and cheering leading, it provides a space for individual student exercise and the development of healthy habits, and it is open to community recreational programming.
