Construction is expected to begin later this year with an opening for the 2029-2030 school year, school officials said.

The new high school will replace the existing East and West high school buildings with a new unified 9th-through 12th-grade campus on Hood Boulevard.

The 497,000-square-foot, three-story building will be built on the south side of the existing campus, allowing the current high school buildings to remain operational throughout construction, officials said.

In addition to the high school, a 7,150-square-foot bus maintenance garage, 1,837-square-foot transportation office, 2,400-square-foot field maintenance building, and 684-square-foot concession and bathroom building will also be constructed.

Once construction is complete, the two high schools, Village Park Elementary School, and several accessory buildings and parking areas would be demolished.
