Our Facility
Lewis & Clark was dedicated in 1970. It has 440 students with a capacity of 479 students. The carpets were replaced in l998. The interior of the school was painted in l999. The lights and HVAC were replaced during the summer of 2002. The outside of the school was painted in the spring of 2004.
Our facility is used extensively outside normal school hours. During the AAU seasons, it is difficult to find a time when the gymnasium is not being used. In the spring, summer, and fall, our playgrounds are used heavily for soccer and city league baseball.
