The High School Auditorium received a new name: “Estelle H. Yates Auditorium”. Waide Construction was awarded the project and spruced up the entry wall, installed new signage, and upgraded the lighting. Low maintenance xeriscaping was also added.

Artesia High School Campus Masterplan and Capacity Study
There is an ongoing study assessing the current capacity of each school in the District. We will be analyzing current growth and possible utilization. Recommendations for where the District might need to expand will be provided after full assessment. The overall campus masterplan will be in conjunction with the capacity study recommendations for overall cohesive development and locations for potential growth for the entire district.
