Construction of the new Thomas Jefferson High School progresses each day . Phase I of the construction project consisted of earth moving and site stabilization . Phase II consists of additional earth moving that will prepare the site for the building as well as construction of the school itself .
Phase II of the construction project kicked off in May , and the construction team has been busy working all summer . Currently , the site is being backfilled and prepared to accept footers and foundations . The team already has foundations in place for the pool and parts of the lower level . Work will continue on foundations for the next several months , and we are on track to open the new Thomas Jefferson High School in July of 2018 .
Please visit the TJHS construction website , www . newtjhs . com , for the latest construction information , pictures , and future dates of the Community Construction Committee Meetings which are open to the general public . Visitors can also access the newly-installed construction camera to view the building progress from the comfort of their own homes . The camera is positioned to show most of the construction site and is set up to take one picture every 15 minutes from 7:00AM through 7:00PM . Viewers have the ability to watch time-lapse videos of the entire construction progress . When the new high school is completed , website visitors can watch a five-minute movie to see the whole project come together from start to finish .
