The original 2,495 m2 high school was a one-storey building built in 1975. In 1980, two small additions comprising 521.6 m2 were added to provide CTS (Career and Technology Studies) and Home Economics space.

In 1994, major new additions and modernization took place to provide permanent classroom space with reuse of some existing portables on site. The new addition consisted of 3317 m2 of library, science, classroom and physical education space.
