HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —The Hatboro-Horsham School District is holding a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Keith Valley Middle School Wednesday.

The new school will replace the aging Keith Valley Middle School and is planned to open for the 2025-2026 school year.
The ceremony begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday and is expected to last a half hour.
It takes place behind the current Keith Valley Middle School where the athletic fields are on 227 Meetinghouse Road in Horsham.
After years of studies, a new school was considered the best of several options when the school board voted on the project late last year.
Construction began on the new school earlier this year.
During the ceremony, school district administrators will offer remarks. They include Schools Superintendent Scott Eveslage, School Board President David Brown, and Sue King, the district’s director of education.
Remarks are also expected from Horsham Township Council President Mark McCouch, and Hatboro Mayor Tim Schultz.
The school district hired Schradergroup Architects to design the building, and D’Huy Engineering to provide construction management services. Click here to learn more about the project.
