West High School
West High School
School rebuilds happen in phases, and right now, we’re still in the planning and design phase with each school. The new schools will include secure entrances, flexible learning spaces, and modern facilities that support how students learn today. These aren’t just upgrades; they’re long-term investments in safety, structural strength, and high-quality education. We hope to share design visuals with our community sometime this fall.
We have not yet hired the teams and contractors who will physically build the schools. Because of that, specific construction timelines aren’t finalized yet and will evolve as we bring on construction partners. The projects are expected to go out to bid in January 2026.
