PIERSON CAPITAL PROJECT

Pierson Capital Improvement Project

The Sag Harbor Schools Board of Education, District Administration, and the Educational Facilities Planning Committee (EFPC) have been been working on a proposal to renovate and expand Pierson High School's footprint to fill existing facility shortcomings and improve educational programming.  Below are some of the highlights of the proposal and draft archtiectural renderings. 

Community outreach started in January 2025 and will continue through the rest of the year with the aim of having a bond vote in January 2026.

Project Highlights

  • Marine Biology Science Lab
    New hands-on instructional space to mirror wet lab facilities in Southampton and Westhampton Beach to supplement the Pierson science curricula
  • Robotics Lab
    Better support Pierson’s award-winning robotics program with an improved working space and storage
  • Music Instructional Space
    Create an additional music room, as the Pierson music program does not currently have adequate instructional space
  • Recording & Streaming Studio
    Provide space for students to record music & podcasts, film presentations, stream morning announcements, and record college music & vocal auditions
  • Technology Lab & Woodshop
    Increase the size and capabilities in the existing Technology Room and Woodshop
  • New High School Gym
    New and expanded facility behind the existing gym with air conditioning, improved locker rooms, storage and training spaces
  • Fitness Facility Open to the Community
    Expand workout facility footprint and provide access to community members, similar to Shelter Island and Bridgehampton
  • Upgraded Red Cross Shelter Capacity
    Facility and utility upgrades enhance the school’s ability to act as a Red Cross emergency center
