PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Johnston High School was necessitated by a growth of 2,431 students in its district since 2000. With a budget of over $72 million, it is currently the largest high school in Iowa serving up to 1,800 students in grades 10-12. This breathtaking facility is well equipped with cutting-edge classrooms with retractable walls to combine two classrooms, promoting cross-discipline learning and productive collaboration, while a 1,200-seat auditorium supports the performing arts.
