CAMPUS UPGRADES AT KEHILLAH

Kehillah Jewish High School is in the middle of its biggest campus construction project since the Palo Alto school grounds opened its doors for the ’05-’06 school year. Campus improvements cover 12,000sq.ft. and have been geared towards capacity optimization, state-of-the art classrooms and study space, enhanced music room, re-designed theater, as well as the completion of security upgrades supported by a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.
