Another summer improvement project is underway at West Minico Middle School! Security window film has been installed on the school’s exterior windows, providing an added layer of safety and security for our students and staff. In addition to enhancing security, the tint will help improve energy efficiency by reducing heat gain and supporting better temperature control throughout the building.
