High School Construction Project
After months of deliberations, the school board decided to move forward and proposed to rebuild the high school. On March 20, 2007, the voters in Upper Dublin were presented with a referendum. They approved, despite the risk of a significant tax increase. Initial estimates of the new construction is $119 million. The construction will occur in stages on the site of the current building. It is expected to be completed by 2012. Demolition of the oldest wing began in summer 2008.
