Groveland High's Future
GHS SCHOOL FRONT WILL BE SAVED!
The Lake County School planners announced they plan to save the front facade of the former Groveland High.

Here are more details about the construction plans:
1. $32 million has been alloted for the construction of the new middle school.
2. Demolition of buildings in the Davis Elementary area (near Magnolia Street) will probably begin December 2008. A three-story classroom building will be constructed in this area and extend north toward the auditorium.
3. The existing auditorium will remain. Good news, since middle schools don't rate auditoriums in new schools being built today.
4. The current Ag Department Building will remain.
5. The main entrance of the middle school will be on the SW corner of the campus (facing Magnolia Street).
6. The current lunchroom and library will be demolished.
7. The new administrative offices will be in a new building west of the big three-story classroom building already mentioned.
8. The building that served as the science wing back in the 1960s will remain.
9. The current gymnasium (on E. Cherry Street) will remain and will become the new lunchroom/cafeteria.
10. The front wall (with the "1937" inscription) will REMAIN! However, all the rooms attached to it (front rooms and wings) will be demolished. The current glass doors and the steps will be removed. In the opening, an iron gate will be hung an iron gate. Passing through this gate will lead into a large courtyard. Demolition in this area will probably not begin until the Summer of 2010.
