Northrop High School underwent a comprehensive renovation that addressed nearly every part of the building. Mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems were completely overhauled, and the building envelope was restored with new thermally efficient windows, doors, and masonry repairs. The existing interior office was relocated to a new addition, creating a secure main entrance, and interior finishes were coordinated with district standards while incorporating school-specific branding to celebrate the pride of students and staff.

Because school remained in session throughout construction, temporary classrooms, corridors, and phased work zones were carefully planned to minimize disruption to learning. This approach allowed the project team to complete extensive upgrades while maintaining a safe and functional educational environment.

After nearly 50 years of service, Northrop High School now features fully updated instructional and departmental spaces, along with a refreshed Suppler Stadium. The renovation provides a modern, safe, and inspiring 21st-century learning environment for students and staff.
