The school also includes spaces for fine arts, JROTC, gymnasium and athletics, large dining commons with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a large library area.
The new library was dedicated to honor Hazel Hainsworth Young, a Yates teacher and counselor who served for more than 80 years and was among the first teachers when the school opened in 1926.
