From Seattle Public Schools School Beat e-news:
The Building Excellence III (BEX III), capital bond approved by Seattle voters in 2007, funds a series of improvements at Nathan Hale High School, including a new library, radio station, visual arts classrooms and fitness center. These improvements, completed this fall, are part of an eco-friendly phased modernization and expansion program at the school. School leaders report that students seem more engaged in learning in the new library. This light-filled space is attracting students to the after-school study program and to the technology area. The hallway leading to the library, which is shared by the art classrooms and radio station, acts as gallery space showcasing Nathan Hale art students’ work.
Award-winning radio station, KNHC C89.5 began broadcasting from its new studio in October. Now in its 38th year of broadcasting, the station is part of the District’s Career and Technical Education program. Each week, more than 35 student DJs, technicians, and operations personnel reach an audience of more than 350,000 listeners worldwide. The program has been a strong pathway to college and careers. Alumni include local radio personalities, Associated Press reporters and Grammy Award winners, as well as business professionals at Intel, Boeing and Microsoft.
Photos, full construction project information and updates are available on the BEX Web site, or check out the Nathan Hale Web cam.
