The Bentonville (Ark.) district is ready to open its second high school.

KFSM-TV reports that the public got a look at the new $86 million Bentonville West High School in Centerton during an open house last week. Students will begin classes on Aug. 15.

The campus has more than 100 classrooms, 14 computer labs and a 900-seat performing arts center. It also has a coffee bar, media center and competition gym for more than 2,000 spectators.

The building will have 1,200 students in grades 9 to 11 for its inaugural year, and will expand to all four high school years in the following year.
