2024 Bond Program, Investing in Student Success

Rocky Top Middle School Bond Projects

Rocky Top Middle School will benefit from a broad array of facility improvements made possible by the 2024 bond. In all, bond investments at the school will total between $6.6 million and $7.9 million.

As part of a district-wide initiative to expand access to career and technical education (CTE), select classrooms at Rocky Top Middle School are being transformed into spaces that support hands-on, skills-based learning. These updated learning environments will give students early exposure to subjects including business, design, entrepreneurship and 3-D printing. By introducing real-world applications into the classroom, the district aims to spark curiosity, boost self-confidence and help students begin imagining their future academic or career paths.

Outdated furnishings and flooring will also be replaced throughout the building. Critical infrastructure upgrades — including new HVAC, water and lighting systems — will boost reliability and comfort throughout the school. The bond will also fund security improvements and enhance outdoor spaces through upgrades to irrigation, parking areas and play surfaces.

 

Projected construction budget:

$6.6 million to $7.9 million

Bond Investment Areas at Rocky Top Middle School

The 2024 bond is focused on improving and updating facilities across the district. All bond projects will benefit students, staff and the community by investing in our buildings and – by extension – investing in our community. These investments vary from paving and resurfacing projects to major interior and exterior overhauls to update school furnishings and finishes. 

All schools are also receiving comprehensive IT upgrades through the 2024 bond. These upgrades will support faster network connections and support advanced classroom tools. IT projects will also boost school safety and security, with improved security cameras, exterior door sensors and updated safety systems.
