Henry County school board OK’s $5 million construction project
A multi-purpose gym addition for Hampton High School will soon be underway.
The Henry County Board of Education voted at its Aug. 12 regular meeting to approve a $5,177,000 bid for a multi-purpose gym addition at Hampton High School.
The low bidder was MEJA Construction Co. and the project is part of the school district’s SPLOST program. District construction director Josh Malcom told the board that the multi-purpose addition is almost the same as what all existing high schools are receiving as part of the SPLOST initiative. The exception is the strings room addition, which is not necessary in this case because it was completed when the school was built.
Before the McDonough High School campus opened in the last month, Hampton was the district’s new high school campus.
