Hampton Township School District administrators are exploring the potential for a large-scale remodeling project at the high school.

On Jan. 27, the district administrators and school board members plan to walk through the areas identified for potential remodeling and then host a special public meeting to discuss the need and feasibility for work at the high school.

We've been talking about this for the past year, Superintendent John Hoover said. There are some areas of the high school that need fixed.

Many of the areas of concern include outdated rooms, such as the technology-education area and laboratory rooms.

High school administrators also would like to separate the guidance and administrative departments, which currently share a suite of office space.

Other areas are identified for remodeling to improve security and safety, such as updating the electrical closet, which houses the building's computer equipment and servers.

Installing a closed vestibule at the main entrance also is planned.

Mary Alice Hennessey, chairwoman of the facilities committee, said many of the building issues were pointed out during the preliminary walk-through.

We were comfortable that there were things that need to be addressed, she said.
