The new school is expected to open for the 2028–29 academic year.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Construction is officially underway on a new high school in Louisville’s Bon Air neighborhood.
Jefferson County Public Schools leaders broke ground Wednesday on the new Seneca High School. The $100 million facility, which will rise on the same site as the current campus, will feature modern agricultural spaces, including a barn, full workshop, greenhouse and a floral shop where community members can purchase student-made arrangements.
The upgraded campus will offer students hands-on learning opportunities and help them explore potential career paths. The building will also include dedicated areas for the school’s Agriscience and Leadership and Health Science programs.
“From an operational standpoint, this new facility is a game-changer for Seneca,” JCPS Chief Operations Officer Rob Fulk said in a Wednesday news release. “By implementing a Zero Energy Ready design and a geothermal HVAC system, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also ensuring significantly lower operational costs for decades to come. This project demonstrates our commitment to building sustainable, efficient, and resilient schools that provide the modern learning environments our students and staff deserve.”
Officials expect the project to be finished in time for the start of the 2028–29 school year.
