Take a whole new look at areas of Reagan Middle School in 360-degree panoramas. Dixon Public School takes pride in its facilities and what it provides its students and their families…especially the new glass enclosure recently constructed this past summer overlooking the cafeteria. The glass enclosure not only adds an aesthetic improvement to the interior, the addition provides a safer environment that greatly reduces noise levels previously transmitting to other areas of the school.
