Sierra Lutheran High School, a Christ-centered school for 9th-through 12th graders, located in Carson City, Nevada, held a groundbreaking event to celebrate the start of its 20,000-square foot multiphase expansion project. The expansion will include new buildings and the renovation of existing classrooms and common area of the high school.
Construction will increase the school’s capacity by another 100 students with seven additional classroom facilities. The expansion will include state-of-the-art STEAM (Science Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) rooms including augmented reality technology for immersive learning, fine arts room, and new multipurpose hall for school gatherings needing larger spaces, such as: chapel, fine arts events, and other large-format instruction curriculum.
