Johnstown Intermediate School

Built in the early 1960s, the Searfoss Middle School facility, an elementary school until 2017, has undergone a significant transformation to become Johnstown Intermediate School and accommodate the Johnstown-Monroe School District’s growing student population. This initiative involved renovating 27,000 square feet and adding 12,000 square feet to provide 25 classrooms, a full-service kitchen, small group rooms, and a multipurpose area. A new roof installation allowed for modern mechanical systems that have improved heating, cooling, and ventilation efficiency. Classrooms were equipped with advanced technology, and the courtyard was converted into a media center with high transom windows for ample natural light. To enhance security, a new main entrance was constructed, that controls access and improves visitor monitoring by school administration. Situated adjacent to the district’s main middle school campus, the renovated facility now serves as a crucial transitional facility for students moving from elementary to middle school, offering a modernized learning environment supported by updated infrastructure.
