In July 2006 construction of a new 75 million dollar (overbudgeted to over 100 million)[citation needed], indoor, mall-style school was completed and the students moved in. It was erected on the site of the old football field. After the campus was completed, construction began on a new artificial turf football field and track. Construction was completed in 2007.
