Middleton High School is a high school
in Middleton, Idaho
.
The band room alone contained $200,000 in instruments, including the associated middle school's instruments.
The High School opened with seventeen (17) teaching stations, reducing two classrooms from the portion that burned, which allowed us to utilize these funds to increase the size of the: library, music room, band room and upgrades throughout the building.
Projections indicate that with the enrollment growth, four additional High School classrooms will be needed for the 2008-09 school year. Therefore, the portables will continue to be used as overflow classrooms for both the Middle and High Schools. Middleton High/Middle School Rebuild
The School Board members have determined that once the High School students are relocated into the new High School, the current High School will become the Middle School. The capacity of all existing buildings (on this campus) will hold 1,500 Middle School students – however, they do not want to exceed 1,200 Middle School students at this 6-8 grade level. The current Middle School building can then be utilized for overflow classes for Middle School students and as the elementary population grows, 5th grade students could be temporarily relocated to the current Middle School, until the two new elementary schools are built.
The School Board members and District Administration have begun the process that will result in the High School bond issue being brought before the patrons for a vote. The first step in this process was to locate a 60 acres (242,811.6 m²) site for this new High School. The District purchased this property located on the southeast corner of Willis and Emmett Roads at $10,000 per acre. The next step in the process was to have a conceptual site plan of the school drawn up (a link to this site plan is located on the side bar). With these two tasks accomplished, the District then had to wait for the bonding capacity to build up to cover the projected construction costs for the new High School. Due to the bond refinance, bond defeasance and increased market value, the District will have the necessary bonding capacity by the fall of 2008. Future High-School

Future High School
The District’s history of student enrollment growth is utilized to project future student enrollment growth at all grade levels. This enrollment growth data confirms the need for a new High School—as soon as possible. If patrons were to approve a bond issue during the fall of 2008, the new High School would not be ready for occupancy until the fall of 2011. The construction of a new High School (on the southeast corner of Willis and Emmett Roads) would provide the District with room for growth at all grade levels, until two new elementary schools can be built.The School Board members have determined that once the High School students are relocated into the new High School, the current High School will become the Middle School.
