Ridgefield School District to host groundbreaking Wednesday

Posted

The Ridgefield School District is inviting members of the community to a groundbreaking ceremony in the courtyard of Ridgefield High School, 2630 S Hillhurst Road, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 30.

The ceremony marks the beginning of construction that will expand Ridgefield High School, the second of four phases included in the district’s 2017 Bond Program which voters approved in February 2017, the release noted.

The two-story, 42,000 square-foot facility will be built on the space now occupied by the high school’s administration offices and library, the release stated. The expansion will house a new science learning wing, special education instruction, fine arts, media services, a college career center and additional general education classrooms to handle the district’s rapidly growing student enrollment.

Construction proper will begin in mid-June immediately after the school year ends and is scheduled to be complete by Fall 2019 — ready for the opening of the 2019-20 school year.
