Facilities
Gymnasium
The Gymnasium, constructed in 2002, has undergone significant renovations in 2024, including a remodeled back hallway. This facility features separate locker rooms for boys and girls, a classroom, a film room, and an athletic department suite. The recent updates also include a newly renovated athletic training room and a fueling station designed to support athlete nutrition, enhancing the overall experience for student-athletes.
Hedrick Center Dome
The Hedrick Center Dome, built in 1965, is named in honor of a significant contributor to our athletic community. This historic facility features an auxiliary gymnasium and a newly created Black Box theater, alongside an attendance office, facility offices, and a mailroom. Once the main gym, it proudly served as the home for Hornet Volleyball and Basketball, making it a cherished part of our athletic heritage.
Weight Room
The Weight Room, situated in the athletic hallway adjacent to the Gymnasium, is a fully equipped training space for athletes looking to build strength and conditioning. This modern facility is designed to meet the diverse needs of athletes, offering a variety of free weights, machines, and other fitness equipment. It serves as a sister gym to the main Gymnasium, providing athletes with the resources they need to enhance their physical development.
Film Room
The Film Room located in the athletic hallway serves as a secondary space for reviewing game footage. With a capacity for 20 people, this intimate room is equipped with a whiteboard, flat-screen TV, and Apple TV, making it a versatile option for team film study and analysis. Whether used for tactical discussions or individual review, this room complements the larger Moore Center Film Room, offering a smaller, focused setting for athletes and coaches.
Locker Room
The Locker Rooms in the athletic hallway are designed for smaller groups, each holding up to 22 athletes. These facilities are equipped with toilets, large mirrors, sinks, and walk-in individual showers, ensuring that athletes have a comfortable and efficient space to prepare before and after practice or competition. Located directly across from the Gymnasium and just down the hall from the Weight Room, Film Room, and Athletic Offices, these locker rooms provide easy access to all other athletic resources.
