The Fine Arts Center had long been a dream. Up until its completion in 2006, the ever adaptable Old Main served as the site for drama and musical productions as well as for art and music studios. It was remarkable what students and faculty mentors were able to accomplish with such limited means.

On the beautiful fall morning of Thursday 19 October 2006, the new FAC was opened for use. The celebratory day began with a gathering in the new auditorium where several student musical groups performed. A school photo was taken in front of the building and students then pitched in to move hundreds of boxes of materials from art, music and drama rooms in Old Main to their appointed locations in the new building. An alfresco lunch was served in the garden and a non-academic afternoon program followed. No sports practices were missed, of course.
