Renovation and New Construction In 2014, a multi-phase renovation project began at the school to update existing facilities, which were built in the late 1960s, and to construct new buildings. In January 2015, "Phase 1" was completed when the new 45,000 square foot Math and Science building was finished. "Phase 2A" was completed in November 2015 with the completion of 125,000 square foot building containing classrooms, the "Freshman Academy", a new media center, and a dining room. "Phase 2B" added a new wing for English, Math, Foreign Language, and Social Study classrooms and was completed in October 2019. The final phase, "Phase 3" included a new "arena style" basketball gymnasium, choral/band/orchestral rooms, and a new band field and was completed in Spring 2021. Until 2026, the only pre-2014 school building that remained was the auditorium.
In 2024, ground was broken to construct the "Athletic Complex," which includes baseball and softball fields as well as an additional paved parking lot. The complex was later renamed to "Jacket Park," with construction completed in February 2026.
North Augusta High School is undergoing a new project to modernize the existing auditorium with the goal to expand the facility by increasing seating capacity, enlarging the stage and lobby areas, and creating a more open entrance. It will also improve accessibility, add updated restrooms, and support spaces (like dressing rooms, storage, and a scene shop). The budget for the new project is estimated to be around $11,000 and will be funded by 2014 1% funds. The project is active and is estimated to be completed in 2027.
