Campus facilities that have included a multipurpose building, library, swimming pool, food pantry, underground storm shelter, a family center and pavilion, staff housing, a hospitality center, and recreational features such as a splash pad.
A transitional living center on campus with efficiency apartments and space intended to serve a small number of youth nearing high school graduation, providing focused instruction and housing resources to support the move to college, trade school, military service, or the workforce.
