Update hallways around gymnasium

CORNELIUS’ CORNER

If a student has spent any time in the gymnasium, the locker rooms, the weights room, they may have noticed the halls are outdated compared to the rest of the school. These halls seem forgotten because only a few classes happen there.

To start, the clocks on the way to McClain Hall stay stuck at 12:00 and need to be fixed, so they can represent an accurate time. This would help students and staff stay on schedule as they leave classes or lunch and improve the overall look of the school.

The lights need to improve in the hallways by McClain Hall. Not having sufficient lighting can make the place feel more dark and gloomy and makes the school look less professional. When the lighting goes dark or off in a classroom, it can make students feel tired or sleepy — and the same goes for our hallways.

The trims on the wall become a point to focus on, and the trim in the gym/locker room hallways appears as falling apart, crumbling, cracking, denting, and smudging. The trim can change the whole demeanor and impact how professional our school looks.

Lockers in the hallway have aged beyond their prime. Either remove the lockers entirely or repaint them. The lockers have dents and scratches and make the halls look old and beaten. Few students use lockers anymore, so removing the lockers should happen. Students who do have a locker have many more lockers to choose from in the main hallways. If choosing to keep the lockers, then repaint the lockers. By painting the lockers, no one has to move lockers, and it will add a pop of color to the hallway which can brighten to tone.
