Coffeyville Kansas is located in southeast Kansas along the Oklahoma border. Coffeyville USD 445 has always been the pride of the community. The district has recently been named to the Kansas Can Mercury 7 initiative. It is an exciting time in Coffeyville.
The district is made up of four primary educational facilities, Dr. Jerry Hamm Early Childhood Center, Community Elementary School, Roosevelt Middle School (RMS), and Field Kindley High School (FKHS). Both RMS and FKHS were built in the 1920’s. Each of these facilities hold a great deal of history in the community. While these majestic, older buildings are beautiful and very well maintained, they do require a great deal of renovation to respond to the needs of learners of today and the future.
incite Design Studio was selected by USD 445 to analyze the current facilities in the district, lead the envision process for facility improvements, develop a plan for the district, and to implement the plan. Through countless meetings with staff, administration, students, and community members a plan is now being implemented.

In addition, the old administration will be converted to modern classrooms and restrooms updated and in the gymnasium the addition of a concession stand an apparel, merchandise, and Golden Tornado spirit wear store called the “sTOReNADO” This new student focused gathering area will have the feel of a modern professional athletic environment to watch and support their teams.
