Community Campus
Overview
The Community Campus is a dynamic and popular gathering place
for people of all ages. The School District wanted to
share the former high school with the community, so they joined
forces with the College of Southern Idaho and Blaine County
Recreation District to create a much needed learning and
activity center that is now busy from morning to night.
You'll find young Footlight dancers alongside adults studying subjects from A to Z. Concerts
and special events are held in the large theater, and the
gymnasium is always busy. The Campus Cafe invites
visitors to have a bite and browse the web, and the HUB is a
safe, supervised place for kids in grades 6 through 12 to meet and have fun.
The Community Campus serves as a polling place during elections,
and the Red Cross set up emergency headquarters in the building
during the powerful Castle Rock Fire in the summer of 2007.
They provided food, shelter, and information to residents forced
to evacuate their homes.
The School District still uses part of the facilities for its
academies and school-to-work programs. The Blaine County
Education Foundation is housed here. CSI's Blaine County
Center offers lower-division college classes, as well as
community education programs for adults and children. They
also oversee the Head Start program. The Recreation District coordinates their
excellent indoor and outdoor activities from the Community
Campus. The Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of
Music trains young musicians in the former band room.
Student art exhibits bring additional life and color to a
wonderful community asset.
The Community Campus has a mission to serve people of all ages through outstanding artistic, educational and recreational experiences that enrich and inspire all who participate.
