Check Out the New High School on Saturday

Students have been going to the new North Reading High School for more than a week, but the greater community hasn’t had a chance to see the new school on the hill.

The community is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20. The ceremony and speeches will start at 9 a.m. with tours expected to start at 10 a.m.

The tours will begin in the main lobby, which is accessible from the parking lot.

Parking for all tours will be available at the rear of the new high school accessible from the driveway/access road that begins in the parking lot of the old North Reading High, which will serve as the middle school for the upcoming school year.

There will be no food or drink allowed in the high school during the tours.

The high school portion of the project is open. The middle school portion of the combined campus will open next year. North Reading voters approved two debt exclusion overrides to fund the project.
