2nd Design Meeting Slated For New Pennsbury High School

FALLSINGTON, PA —The Pennsbury School District's plans for a new high school are progressing with its second session on Wednesday night to discuss its designs for the building’s athletics, music, and arts programs.

In a recent email to the community, Schools Superintendent Thomas A. Smith that the high school’s coaches, directors, athletes, and students involved in athletics, music, and arts programs will have the opportunity to review the initial design for those spaces.

The second session is at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the East Auditorium and will focus on designs for arts and performance programs.

“These dates coincide with the summer return of our athletic and marching band programs. Specific details regarding the daytime sessions will be provided to coaches and directors. The evening sessions are open to all interested individuals,” Smith stated in the email.

The district has taken numerous steps since the Pennsbury School Board voted 8-1 to build a new high school over renovating its West campus last year.

The vote authorized the school district to hire an architect and get the building going on a school that would open for the 2029 school year and may cost between $250 million and $277 million.

The school board approved the hiring of SitelogIQ at its meeting last month following a May 8 meeting in which numerous firms made presentations on how they would oversee the new high school, which is expected to open in the winter of 2029.

The hiring comes after the school board selected KCBA Architects of Hatfield, Montgomery County, in April to design the new Pennsbury High School.

A full design for the high school is still being worked up and will be presented to the public when completed.

The new high school is slated to open in the winter of 2029.
