"The high school is T-shaped, with the symmetrical primary elevation facing south. It is constructed of cast-in-place, reinforced concrete with red brick over a hollow clay tile backup. The exterior features cast stone decorative elements. The roof is flat with a concrete deck and high parapet walls at the perimeter. Overall, the fireproof building contains a simple parapet with cast stone classical decorative elements at the cornice. The primary (south) facade consists of a central bank of windows, demarcated by a central raised parapet. The central band is flanked by entry doors. Beyond these doors is a single bay of windows, which are symmetrically flanked by projecting wings. The entrance doors are replacement aluminum single-leaf doors and transoms. The doors are accented with cast stone door surround, and pediment with decorative brackets. Two cast stone cartouches are applied at the upper cast stone band molding. Unfenestrated, projecting wings flank the primary façade. The cast stone cartouches seen on the primary facade are present at the upper molding."
