Bond Updates and Construction Projects
We’re excited to invite you to two upcoming open houses where we’ll share the latest updates on the Highland High and West High rebuild projects. These evenings are a chance to see initial design renderings, learn about athletic plans during construction, and explore the vision for the next chapter of each school.
Everyone in the community is welcome. We hope you’ll join us!
Update on Highland High School and West High School – July 30, 2025
We’re working on making plans for our athletic teams at each school to continue practicing and competing, even while their campuses are being rebuilt. (The Summer Construction Update linked below has more details on this.) One of the biggest challenges for school districts across the country right now is chronic absenteeism. It’s hard for our students to succeed in school if they’re not even coming to school. We know that participation in extracurricular activities is an important way to keep students engaged, and athletics are an important component of many students’ experience. We will continue to work to plan for atlernate practice and playing locations for each team as we strive to eliminate barriers to participation.
Keep checking this page to stay up to date on the latest updates for each of our bond and construction projects.
