Background:
|
The High School Project: Educational Design Team began in the summer of 2018 and has progressed steadily. On September 26, 2019, the School Board voted in favor of a Connected High School Network strategy to address Alexandria City’s future high school capacity needs. This includes designing and constructing a new Minnie Howard Campus that will house more students and offer more programming opportunities. Educational specifications and design concepts were approved in 2021. As plans for the building were finalized and construction began, The High School Project Team has continued to work on developing an equitable and rigorous instructional program at the high school level.
