Warm Springs K-8— education and culture!
BBT Architects, Inc. has been working closely
with Warm Springs tribal members to integrate
cultural elements into the design of the new Warm
Springs K-8 school. They have been collecting
images, quotes and colors that represent the three
tribes of Warm Springs (Payute, Wasco and Warm
Springs). Signage will also be bi-lingual to reflect
both English and tribal language.
New performing arts center and stadium
to upgrade MHS campus
i
The new designs for the Performing Arts Center
(PAC) and Stadium at Madras High School are
going to give the campus a fresh and more unified
feel. By installing new technology such as the
LED lighting systems, the district is saving money
AND taking advantage of the most effective and
environmentally friendly equipment.
While located on the MHS campus, the PAC
will be used by all of our schools and students of all ages. It will also be a
community gathering place for cultural and business events. Our mascot, the
White Buffalo, will greet visitors at the entrance to our new building. The
mascot was originally going to be placed at the north or south “Y” in Madras,
but thanks to the efforts and donations of local community members, the White
Buffalo will be a permanent fixture of the new PAC. The student body can look
to it as a good luck charm when they attend events. Hopefully, this will create
a sense of pride and unity among our athletes, thespians, musicians, fans and
audiences.
A special thanks to our supporters including: Class of 1962; Brightwood
Corporation; and Les Schwab Tires. We are also working with Central Oregon
Seed Inc. (COSI) to obtain a large piece of basalt on which to mount the
buffalo.
