The Prosser School District celebrated the grand opening of its new $60+ million high school with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 12.

The district’s building permit for the 157,000-square-foot school is valued at more than $37 million.

The school is next to Art Fiker Stadium at 1500 Paterson Road.

It replaces the old school, which dated to the 1920s and was last renovated in 1999. The project was paid for with proceeds from a 2017 voter-approved bond and about $20 million in matching funds from the state.

The school features a two-story atrium-style entrance, sports fields, a performing arts facility and two gymnasiums.

Chervenell Construction of Richland was the general contractor.

Architects West was the architect.
