About PHSSA: Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts (PHSSA) is a kindergarten through fifth-grade school based on meaningful parent, educator and community involvement. The school will provide the children of our diverse community with an academically rigorous science- and arts-based curriculum that emphasizes environmental awareness and social responsibility.
About Patrick Henry Building: PHSSA will be continuing construction, including ADA and life safety upgrades to the 90 year-old school building, over the next two years. PHSSA will also replace kitchen equipment and windows to make the building energy efficient, provide computers and other technology for students, and make cosmetic upgrades to create an inspiring learning environment for the children. By investing in capital improvements in the building, PHSSA is also preserving a historic building. The overall cost of the renovation is $1.45 million. The cost of the renovations will be covered by a unique financial package that includes historic tax credits, private donations, a small portion of local and state funding and grants.
