The groundbreaking for the new Junction City High School is set for 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The location is near the intersection of Munson Road and K-18 Highway. The new high school will be built on the north side of K-18.

The goal is to have the new school built and in service to students by August of 2021.

A combination of federal heavy impact aid and state aid is being used to finance the project.

Fort Riley Garrison Commander Colonel Stephen Shrader will serve as the guest speaker for the groundbreaking ceremony.
