Ark High / Monarch Elementary School Modernizations

The
existing one story, brick building at Ark High School was demolished, as well as the garage, the small
modular building, the concrete ramp and other assorted
structures on site. This work was followed by
extensive site work and the installation of underground
utilities. Pacific Gas and Electric installed
new electrical service, including a new pad-mounted
transformer. New asphalt and concrete paving and
curbs were installed. Six new permanent portable
classrooms buildings were installed along the
boundary adjacent to Natural Bridges Elementary School.
A new independent studies building and a new administration classroom building were built on the site’s
boundary bordering Swift Street. In addition, a new
lunch canopy was constructed, as well as new
basketball and volleyball courts. The entire campus
is now interconnected with walkways providing
handicap access.
At
the Monarch Elementary site, the two existing portable
classrooms were relocated to the western boundary
of the campus. Two new permanent portable classroom
buildings were also installed. The project was successfully completed.
In June 2004, both schools were moved to the closed Branciforte Elementary site as part of the Small Schools campus reorganization.
