Investment to Help School Serving 2,200 Construct New Two New Buildings
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, N.C., February 27, 2021 –Various federal and state officials joined U.S. Department of Agriculture North Carolina Rural Development in a ribbon cutting at Montgomery Central High School today.
The USDA RD is investing $71 million to construct two new school buildings for Montgomery Central High School.
“Montgomery Central High School serves a thriving and diverse student population,” said a representative from North Carolina USDA Rural Development. “These new buildings will facilitate their education with the most up-to-date technology.”
In rural North Carolina, Montgomery County Schools will use a $71 million loan to consolidate the two existing high schools into a new 21 thousand square foot single building, and a new 80 thousand square foot career and technical educational facility. This will house the CTE, early college programs, and performing arts center.
