The 15,400-square-foot first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed in time for the school to welcome ninth-grade students in August 2016. Additional grade levels will be added in succeeding years to create a high school for grades nine to 12.
The campus will be situated in Myrtle Beach on a 50-acre site provided by the diocese.
Parishes in the diocese that will send students to the school have been raising funds to help pay for construction. The campaign had a goal of raising $5 million, and as of early August, more than $4.1 million had been pledged.
