The Hatboro-Horsham (Pa.) District has held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Keith Valley Middle School in Horsham, Pa.
The Hatboro-Horsham Patch reports that the $125 million facility will replace the existing Keith Valley Middle. It is scheduled to open for the 2025-26 school year.
Construction began on the new school earlier this year. It is being built toward the back of the existing middle school site where the fields for soccer and field hockey fields are situated.
When the new school is completed, the existing Keith Valley Middle will be torn down, and athletic fields will be reconstructed there.
The district decided to build a new facility after determining that the extensive renovations needed would cost nearly as much as new construction. The building opened in 1958 as Hatboro-Horsham High School and no longer meets educational standards or accessibility regulations.
The architect is SCHARDERGROUP, and the construction manager is D’Huy Engineering.
