    Buena High School located in Sierra, Vista, AZ has an uncertain future, until the vice presidents of the school finally shed some light on the top mysterious project. Mr. Duce states “.... Air conditioning obviously needs to be better regulated, we’re getting a second gym. A lot of high schools in the state have two gyms, and probably across the country. They’re making an addition to the performance theatre area. We’re getting LED lighting throughout, which is going to be more cost-effective and hopefully last longer than what we have now. I think the improvements for the school are going to be significant, even though you may not be able to see them.”

It is also essential for students to witness what college is like before stepping inside for the first day of class.

    1760 Words  | 4 Pages

    To a kid, “back to school” signals the end of summer fun and a return to strict rules and schedules--and worse, homework. (UGH!) To a parent, it can mean freedom; not having to drive a “bored” whiner from one activity to the next, or worry about where a teen is hanging out or what they might be up to.
