The Master Facility Planning Committee worked last spring to gather feedback and identify needs and priorities for the district over the next five to ten years. The plan was completed and finalized over the summer and some projects have already been completed using available district funds, including a newly renovated track, a new video scoreboard, and new goal posts. 

The original plan from 2013 was included as a reminder of what the district has been able to accomplish thanks to the wonderful community of Strafford. You will notice that the needs identified in 2013 were met and even exceeded. This is due to the support of our community. As we move into the current facility plan, we are excited to continue to meet the needs of our students and community through improvements and additions in many areas to include the auditorium, the Vo Ag facility, ADA playground, as well as others. This is not necessarily an all inclusive list, however it helps up prioritize needs moving forward. 

This is an exciting time for Strafford Schools as we strive to Set the Standard, Model Excellence, and Maximize Potential!
