The high school located in Gulfport consists of a 142,513 sq. ft. facility with athletic fields and associated parking areas with a capacity of 1430 students throughout a front main academic wing and a rear area which includes a media center, gymnasium, cafeteria and band hall. The high school located in D’Iberville consists of a slightly larger 164,575 sq. ft. facility with the same related amenities.
Both facilities also serve as FEMA sanctioned community storm shelters for coast residents. As a shelter, the building was designed to be completely self operational and withstand 200 mph winds. Overall construction was comprised of load bearing CMU block walls with brick veneer façade and pre-cast panels.
