Pennsbury To Provide Update On New High School Project

FALLSINGTON, PA —Residents and parents of children in the Pennsbury school community will be given an update on the new high school project next week.

The Pennsbury School District will hold a community meeting on Oct. 8 to provide updates on the design and development of a new high school.

The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the East Auditorium of Pennsbury High School at 705 Hood Blvd. in Falls Township.

Those who can't make the meeting will be able to watch it on the school district's website.

The district contracted KCBA Architects of Hatfield for $8.8 million in March to oversee the new high school's architectural design, which is known as the “Pennsbury Path.”

KCBA Architects has a history with the district. It is currently working on renovations at Charles Boehm Middle School in Lower Makefield Township.

The district has scheduled the school’s opening for winter 2029, with construction expected to begin in 2025.

The new high school is proposed to be between 475,000 and 505,000 square feet and accommodate up to 2,800 students at a cost of between $240 million and $275 million.

The Pennsbury School Board voted 8-1 to build a new high school over renovating its West campus last year.
