The current school facility has multiple classroom buildings. It also houses one gymnasium, one cafeterias, an auditorium, an American football stadium, a band building, and a softball field.[2]
The original school building, made of brick, opened in 1928. A wooden building was later built next to the brick one. The original brick building was renovated and renamed the "Gray Building" in 1958, and that year the current main building opened. The school crest was designed in the 1970s.[2]
