REVITALIZING THE FUTURE OF FAIRFAX
It's been 20 years since there have been any renovations to the BFA Fairfax facility, and over 30 years since the middle and high school buildings have been updated. Our facility is aging and is in need of revitalization to address the needs of our students and for the facility to remain viable for the next 25 years.
Our community also continues to need better spaces in which to gather and participate in events and activities. The proposed project also addresses this need.
It's time to continue Hiram Bellows' legacy and preserve an enduring tradition for the next generation.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
This proposal will renovate and expand the high school as well as older sections of the middle school. Some key features of this project include, relocating the main entrance of the high school to the original main entrance with enhanced security at entry, ADA compliance, fire and safety upgrades, a new full size middle school gymnasium, a new 400-seat auditorium, upgrades to the library, a redesigned multi-purpose room for community and school events, centralized administration and guidance offices, and health offices, and much more.
For over 3 years, a committee of the Fairfax School Board has studied the needs of our community and our school. They created a plan that addresses our current needs while looking toward the future. This project reflects the unique heritage of our facilities and our community values: BFA Fairfax is the heart of our town.
With voter approval of this comprehensive renovation of BFA Fairfax, it will be at least 25 years before any building upgrades to the middle/high school are needed in the future.
