“…THE PREMIER FACILITY…”

Gordon Gross, Senior

After months of anticipation the new wing of Dalton high schools is complete. Dr. Larry Murkerson, Assistant Principal, is relieved to see the final result after helping to oversee the project. When asked whether or not he was excited about the new edition to Dalton School, Dr. Murkerson’s reply was simple yet ecstatic  “YES.”

Dalton High School’s new building is topped by few others in the state of Georgia. “...The Premier Facility …” is how Dr. Murkerson chose to describe our new building, following by saying that our building now “beats most Atlanta schools.”

Included in the new addition to our school is 6 science labs, 6 computer labs that can be reserved by classes, 13 classrooms, a new commons area addition, the MamaCat cyber café, a brand new culinary arts facility, and a tiered multipurpose room. Dr. Murkerson explained that the multipurpose room  will not only serve the high school’s purposes, but also all of Dalton Public Schools.

Being the first addition to the school since in opened in 1977, it provided  the much needed room, but also a more modern appeal to an aging building.
