The school also contains a black box theater, separate choir, band and orchestra halls, three gymnasiums, a library, lecture hall, and commons area used as a cafeteria and to host school events. The majority of Strickland Middle School, Myer Middle School, and a partial amount of students from Navo Middle School students feed into Ryan High School.
