MILFORD The town will take the first major step toward getting a new high school later this month.
“It’s worth noting that there are a number of rooms in the high school right now that are being used as classroom spaces that were never designed as classroom spaces,” high school Principal Joshua Otlin told officials this week. “While we make the best with what we have, we certainly think our students deserve to have contemporary modern facilities, and that they should study in spaces that are designed as instructional spaces.”
School officials asked for the Select Board’s official approval this week to move forward with submitting a statement of interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s grant program. If accepted, Milford could see substantial funding toward either significant renovations to the high school or a new high school altogether.
