HCPS releases plans for new Tucker, Highland Springs high schools
The two new schools will be built concurrently on an accelerated construction timeline, beginning in September, so that they’ll be ready for the start of the 2021-22 school year. Each project will cost $80 million.
From the Henrico Citizen:
Henrico School Board members got a look into the not-so-distant future February 28th, when school system officials presented them with architectural renderings of the new Highland Springs and Tucker high schools during a work session.
The two new schools will be built concurrently on an accelerated construction timeline, beginning in September, so that they’ll be ready for the start of the 2021-22 school year. Each project will cost $80 million.
The new version of Tucker High School will be situated facing Parham Road and sit partially where the school’s existing football stadium is located. Students will continue attending class in the existing campus-style buildings until the new school is completed, and then crews will demolish the old buildings and construct a new football stadium near the back of the site adjacent to Homeview Drive, Assistant Superintendent for Operations Al Ciarochi told the board.
