Henry County Schools leaders met earlier this week on the grounds of the south metro Atlanta community’s first STEM high school to celebrate the future construction.
The district plans to build the $45.5 million building, which will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, on the grounds of the former Patrick Henry High School. That building, at the intersection of South Lee Street and North Henry Boulevard in Stockbridge, had acted as the district’s alternative school until 2015 when it was shuttered.
The Henry Board of Education approved the site for the new STEM high school at its board meeting in January. Projected to be complete in 2026, construction will be funded by the county’s sixth education special purpose local option sales tax.
