FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL: NEW AUDITORIUM

The rebuilding of Fairmont High School’s auditorium began this summer.

Renderings of the project show the school’s new auditorium being expanded to accommodate more seating space and a larger stage. The expanded building will extend closer to Shroyer Road and will include a higher ceiling for “fly space” which community relations manager Kari Basson said was a “huge deal” for the theater program.
