Recently, students and staff moved into the new 15,000 square foot addition wing of Halcyon Middle School! The new building replaces a decades-old portion of the existing school which was constructed in 1955. The new part of the building includes classrooms, a cafeteria/multi-purpose room, administration, and library. Phase II of the project is underway and includes renovation of the remaining portion of the old building. The $8.3 million project is part of the 2014 Building for Student Success bond program and will be complete in August.

One of our critical layers—keeping fresh air flowing in classrooms—will get a boost thanks to a $1.4M Safe Schools Reopening grant from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). The grant money will be used to purchase portable air purifiers for classrooms, cafeterias, and libraries throughout the district as well as MERV 11 air filters for building HVAC systems.
