Winchester High Renovations Feature Glass Entranceway, Dining Commons

Crews working on the $133 million renovation project at Winchester High School have made outstanding progress thus far, recently unveiling a towering glass entranceway.

On Friday, September 4, many town residents, students and parents, were offered a tour to view the progress made during phase one of the renovation process.

A permanent main entrance, encased in glass, now greets those who enter through the high school’s main entrance.

Additionally, a new dining commons and kitchen is now up and running. A library, which doubles as a media center, was also unveiled to those who took the tour alongside Superintendent Judith Evans.

A renovated auditorium will be available for use in early fall 2015.

Phase two of the construction is now underway and is expected to run through August 2016.

During phase two, construction crews will access the site from the northwest side and remain separated from students by chain link fence or interior walls during the school year. Work will be focused on overhauling the gymnasium.

The project has a target completion of August 2017.
