The new Greene County High School and Career Academy will be formally dedicated Sunday, Aug. 22. A program will be held in the school gymnasium at 1:30 pm.
Speakers at the event will include school board president Dr Steve Karber, Greene County board of supervisors chair John Muir, a representative of Grow Greene County, and several others who played key roles in creating the vision, obtaining funding, and implementing the project.
The $35.48 million project included a $21.48 million bond issue approved by voters in April 2018, with more than 68 percent of voters in favor of the project.
Ground was broken in April 2019, and the building was completed in time for the 2020-21 school year. The Covid-19 pandemic precluded a dedication ceremony at that time.
Work renovating the former high school at 101 Ram Drive started in the spring of 2020, while the building was closed for attendance because of the pandemic. Middle school students moved there for the 2020-21 school year, vacating the 1926 school building on W. Harrison St.
The high school, career academy and middle school will host open houses after the dedication program until 4:30 pm.
