HATBORO / HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —Construction on the new Keith Valley Middle School is making "significant progress," school officials learned recently.

The Hatboro-Horsham School Board received an update on the $125 million project from D'Huy Engineering at its meeting last month.

The firm stated that the school's construction is making "significant progress" with the building nearly enclosed and interior work well underway.

The new school will replace the aging Keith Valley Middle School and is planned to open for the 2025-2026 school year.

During the Facilities Committee Report, School Board Vice President David Brown reported two allowance adjustments for the project totaling $134,102.92 with Boro Construction.

The school board also approved a change order totaling $390,453.70 with Boro Construction for structural stone fill.

Proposals have also been submitted by Corbett, Inc. and Educational Furniture Solutions, LLC (EFS) for the purchase of furniture for the new middle school and District Administrative Office, with a total cost not to exceed $1,482,757.47, school officials said.

After years of studies, a new school was considered the best of several options when the school board voted on the project late last year.

The school district hired Schradergroup Architects to design the building, and D’Huy Engineering to provide construction management services.
