The new school will replace the aging Keith Valley Middle School and is planned to open for the 2025-2026 school year.
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 offered remarks. They included Schools Superintendent Scott Eveslage, School Board President David Brown, and Sue King, the district’s director of education.
Remarks were 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.
