Renovation Project
McCutcheon High School is undergoing renovations as part of Tippecanoe School Corporation’s long-range planning, feasibility studies and broader site master plan to support students now and in the future. The project includes updates to learning spaces, improvements for specialized programs and new athletic facilities.
Through the feasibility study, TSC analyzed current school conditions, academic needs, demographic trends, building capacity and identified key areas for improvement. The projects outlined below reflect those immediate priorities, while additional future renovations have not yet been determined.
Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS)
Family and Consumer Sciences classrooms will move to a newly renovated area on the northeast side of the building, which currently houses Career and Technical Education (CTE) and storage space. The updated space will support several programs, including:
- Foods lab for culinary instruction
- Childcare classrooms
- Textiles lab
- Additional classroom space for FACS courses

Career and Technical Education (CTE)
The space adjacent to the new FACS area will be updated to enhance the CTE lab space, expanding hands-on learning opportunities and supporting students as they prepare for future careers.

Special Education
Special education classrooms will move to the west side of the building, into the area currently used for FACS. In turn, the current special education space will be converted into general-purpose classrooms.
The updated special education area is being designed with students in mind, creating a supportive environment for specialized services. It will include:
- Larger classrooms for expanded learning space
- Dedicated areas for occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT)
- Nurse’s area
- Life skills classrooms
