To improve the student, visitor, and community experience at North Gaston High School, we reimagined the main canopy, made a series of facade improvements, and added a secure vestibule. These improvements have been well received by the community and have brought pride to alumni. Working alongside GASTON COUNTY SCHOOLS and Pinnix Inc throughout this process has been a great experience, and I’m excited to share some of the original and final images of this project.
