The school design is comprised of two academic wings containing sixth, seventh, and eighth grade classrooms, and the exploratory education classrooms. These classroom wings are attached to the administrative and media center core that separates the academic, student intensive areas from the more public gymnasium and auditorium spaces. By organizing the facility in this way, the administrative area and media center are centralized and allow administrative control of both the academic and semi-public spaces.

The school includes a 650-seat auditorium and special student gathering spaces. Athletic facility design included a 850-seat gymnasium, supporting offices and storage areas, locker rooms, weight training, wrestling, and commercial laundry rooms. Exterior facilities include a 6-lane running, track, basketball courts, soccer, football, baseball, and softball fields. In addition, an exercise trail was provided connecting the exteior fields to the main building.
