Mesa High is about to start a makeover.
Construction on the historic, 122-year-old school is to begin Tuesdayâ two days before the last day of school in the Mesa Public Schools District.
Despite pandemic-related sharp declines in enrollment, MPS continues surging ahead with multi-million-dollar construction and renovation plans.
At its March 16 meeting, the Mesa Public Schools Governing Board approved the first chunk of a $40-million â up from $35 million â upgrade at Mountain View High.
Earlier, the board gave the green light to the first phase of a $70 million renovation of Mountain View and Mesa high schools.
An extensive overhaul of Mesa High and Mountain View campuses with some new buildings and additions, revamped athletic fields and other improvements is funded by the $300 million capital bond issue voters approved in 2018.
