History The original building was built in 1957 and is now where the 5th grade, Spanish classes, and superintendent office is. In 1968, two additional hallways were added which now serve the Lockport Area Special Education Cooperative (LASEC), 6th grade, a gym and main office. In 2002, another hallway was added which serves 7th and 8th graders. This addition made the school a square shape with a playground in the middle. At the start of the 2007-2008 school year, an additional two-story building was opened to serve the elementary grades (Pre-K through 4th grade) due to overcrowding. This addition also included a shared area that consisted of a new choir/music room, teachers lounge, library and cafeteria that connected it to the older building, now the junior high (grades 5-8) with both buildings still sharing the gymnasium.
