The school's eight identical houses are organized into three 3-story towers along one side of the school's north wing. The sky-lit atrium, referred to as "Main Street" divides the houses from the administrative offices, band room, choir room and media center located on the opposite side of "the street." The lower level entry, at the south end of "the street", links the houses and support spaces with the school's physical education, auditorium, and cafeteria facilities.
Black Hawk offers 30 different co-curricular programs in athletics, fine & performing arts and student clubs. Black Hawk has been featured in the National Middle School Journal and continues today to be a leader as other school districts from around the country come to tour Black Hawk for ideas on design and programming.
