From replacing exterior panic hardware and hallway doors to refreshing the school’s look with new carpets and repainted parking lot light poles, no stone was left unturned.

- Sanitation Enhancements: With the replacement of toilet partitions and domestic water heaters, the sanitation facilities of the school have been significantly improved, ensuring hygiene and comfort for students.
- Safety Alert: A crucial aspect of any school’s infrastructure, the fire alarm system, was completely replaced, ensuring that in the case of an emergency, timely alerts can be sent out to protect everyone in the building.
