The Loudoun County School Board has awarded a contract worth just over $202 million for the construction of the county’s next high school. The school will serve students in 9th through 12th grades. It will offer 347,000 square feet, accommodate 2,100 students, have a stadium that will seat 5,000 spectators and an expanded gym that will seat 3,000. The building will be four stories tall.
High School 14 will be located on the same campus as Watson Mountain Middle School in the Dulles North area.
During the August 12 School Board meeting, division Chief Operations Officer Kevin Lewis recommended the board approve a $202,599,000 contract with Howard Shockey & Sons to build the school.
