Rapoport Academy high school students
won’t have to dash across the historic Paul
Quinn College campus between classes
anymore now that most upperlevel classes
have moved to the recently opened Gomez
Administration Building.
Rapoport completed $3 million worth of
renovations to the building July 15, adding
7,000 square feet to the 15,000squarefoot
building, bringing the total square footage up

to 22,000. The building houses 17 classrooms,
a computer lab with 20 stations, a study
library and a band hall.
Superintendent Alexis Neumann said the new
space will allow for the district to grow into
full capacity of educating 68 students per
grade, which equates to about 900 students.
About 170 high school students, including 34
seniors, now attend Rapoport.
In previous years, high school classes were
taught in the Vance Dunnam Creative Arts
Center, the Meyer High School Annex
building and the Quinn Campus Public
Middle School.
The annex has been transformed into a fifth
grade center, Neumann said.
The Meadows Foundation and the Paul and
Jane Meyer Family Foundation offered the
largest donations for the construction, along
with $450,000 from a Tax Increment
Financing Zone.
Both students and teachers expressed their
appreciation during Rapoport’s open house
Tuesday.
English teacher Stacey Stiff now teaches in
one of the spacious upstairs rooms painted in
the same soft blue as the rest of the building.
Windows line two of her four walls, giving her
a view of Elm Street.
“I love it because my room was so tiny last
year. I’ve never been in a new building
before,” she said.
Students also love the building, saying it provides more room while being in a central
location.
Sophomore Trytan White, 15, said last semester he had to run from the creative arts building
for his Spanish class to his math class in the annex and often worried about being late.
He said the new building is much more convenient and feels more like a high school.
“I think it’s awesome. It’s much more spacious,” he said.
Stephanie Schattschneider taught German in a basement classroom last year, so the windows
in her class can be distracting to students. But she expects new blinds to solve the problem
and loves her new classroom.
It is the first time in her seven years of teaching at Rapoport that her classroom has received
new chairs, whiteboards and other amenities.
“I still come in and go ‘pinch me,’ ” she said.
