On Nov. 7, 2023, East Longmeadow residents voted to authorize construction of a new high school!
The school will be located behind the home field stands of the athletic field, and will include the area now occupied by the tennis courts and varsity baseball field, which will be relocated.
Construction will begin in the fall of 2024, with students moving into the new building in the fall of 2026. The current high school will then be razed and athletic fields installed in its place.
The total cost of the school, including a new pool, will be about $112 million after reimbursements from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
