Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School in Montebello, California, is undergoing a multiphase renovation. Phase 1 refreshed the exterior and interior, adding new awnings, repainting the building and converting the library into a STEM lab. The renovation also transformed rooms into IT offices, meeting spaces and a student learning center. A redesigned lobby and corridors incorporated school colors to create a brighter, more collaborative environment. Phase 2 will focus on a new sports center, which includes a gymnasium, athletic offices, locker rooms, training and therapy areas, and aquatic recovery spaces to support student-athletes.
