Economic Benefits

Not only is the expansion project the right thing to do for students who are currently or at risk of being placed out of state, but the capital expansion also has millions of dollars of short and long term economic benefits for the local and state economy.

Phases Break Down

The Capital Expansion at Springbrook is a three phase project. The first phase are upgrades to our current infrastructure. Phase two is the building of three new residence. Phase three are additions to the existing school.
