Over the summer, Upper Perk’s administration and staff have dedicated time and effort to enhancing and renovating the high school. From the windows to the walls, these new improvements are transforming the high school.
Various improvements have been made in multiple areas of the school. The installation of bollards helps prevent cars from going on certain roads or places surrounding the school premises. Located “down on the on the north and the south end of the building,” as noted by Principal Flank Flanagan, the sleek black bollards line the perimeter of the most traffic-bound areas of the high school, surrounding the main entrance as well.
The office underwent extensive renovations, including taking down the office’s old wallpaper that Mr. Flanagan described as “falling off the walls” and repainting. Additionally, the new office created space for the school’s new Secondary Special Education Supervisor.
Attendance has a new home as well. Miss Catarious has been relocated to the security desk by the main entrance, providing a more accessible and efficient layout for her and the students.
Todd Amsler, our vice principal, said stickers and decals were applied throughout the school to “freshen up the look and make everything look a little nicer here.” Circular stickers featuring the “UP” logo have been added to all of the exterior doors of the building. A “Main Entrance” decal was also added above the main entry doors (seen above).
The improvements enhance the facilities by creating a welcoming environment for students and staff alike.
