$7M Project Planned At York High
The work is expected to last more than a year, an official said.
ELMHURST, IL – York High School is expecting to see a much-improved auditorium in a couple of years.
The auditorium is one of the bigger projects included in the $168 million bond issue that voters approved in 2018.
It is set to cost $7 million, but Elmhurst School District 205 expects that the price tag could increase by $700,000. That's likely because of recent inflation.

The school board will vote on bids in November, officials said.

"We would keep it for a whole year," Todd Schmidt, the district's director of facilities, told the school board last week. "There's a lot that's going on with the stage rigging in that building. It's a big project."
