NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The city will celebrate the completion of renovations to Hillsboro High School on Tuesday during a ribbon cutting on-site at 11 a.m.
The $96 million investment wrapped up in late 2021, but celebrations were delayed due to COVID.
City leaders will also be unveiling a historical marker dedicated to the school's history which dates back to 1939. It has faced multiple renovations and expansions as the community surrounding it grew.
The school had a complete renovation after being destroyed by a fire in 1952, which led it to become the modern building it is today. The most recent project started about five years ago.
Improvements include a new library, cafeteria and kitchen, art spaces, outdoor courtyard areas, community room, enrollment center… and an elevated practice field with new parking areas below.
The expansion allowed for the population of the school to add more than 1,400 students.
