It featured an open concept floor plan, with classrooms lacking separation. Original plans for the school called for an auditorium, but the design had to be scaled back due to cost overruns. After years of delay, a bond issue was passed and the auditorium was completed in 1999. Turpin was renovated and an auxiliary gym added in 2019. The school received national attention when, in 2022, students staged a walk-out to protest the cancellation of a Diversity Day and one of the students spoke in front of a Congressional subcommittee. Campus The school consists of four main parts: an auditorium, a center section with a cafeteria and classrooms, a gymnasium, and an auxiliary gym. The campus also includes athletic facilities which include a uniquely shaped baseball stadium (due to a lack of flat land area) which has undergone several major improvements and renovations in recent years (2005-2006). The campus also includes tennis courts, practice fields, softball fields, weight lifting facilities, and track and field areas. Academics As of 2019, Turpin offers twenty three Advanced Placement courses. Extracurricular activities Turpin has a wide variety of athletic and non-athletic extracurriculars. There are chapters of national organizations such as the Key Club and National Honor Society.
