Through the planning process, the age and condition of the Montrose High School was a major topic of discussion for both the Planning Advisory Team and Executive Committee. The ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the existing building is becoming a burden for the district. The facility assessments showed that the need for repair at the high school makes up about 33% of the total identified repair need across the District. With review of ongoing yearly repair costs and the ultimate cost for replacement of the existing high school, the Executive Committee agreed that planning for the future replacement of the Montrose High School should be a high priority.

The Planning Advisory Team reviewed several options for the high school including a new high school on a new site and partial building replacement on the current site. The group agreed that there is a community connection to the current site that would be lost with a new school on a new site. High school replacement on the current site also allows the continued use of the existing McMillan Gym, existing baseball field and the existing stadium therefore providing project efficiency and funding savings.

Identified Projects:

Partial Building Replacement at Montrose High School
Complete a partial building replacement at Montrose High School to create a new state of the art High School Facility. The project will include demolition of the older portion of the existing building and construction of a new building on the existing high school site. The stadium, baseball field, and existing McMillan Gymnasium building would be maintained and continue to serve the district. The site elements including parking and field areas will be rearranged along with the new building design to work with existing site access points and connection to the surrounding community. The project will include the demolition of the current Ag/Auto Shop building. A new AG/Auto Shop building will be constructed to provide state of the art CTE learning spaces with associated equipment. The site around the existing CTE building will be re-imagined to be more efficient and allow for additional practice field area.
