Watertown High School, the first Net Zero and LEED Platinum 4.0 high school in the nation, was showcased in a piece on a Boston news channel this week.
NBC 10 Boston toured the construction site on Columbia Street for a tour, including the auditorium, gym, and other areas of the new WHS.
Superintendent Galdston said Watertown officials wanted the new school to be the flagship, and a leader in climate resiliency and climate leadership.
Architect Jim Jordan from Ai3 discussed the challenges of building a high school on a site of a little over 4 acres.
City Council President Mark Siders spoke about how the City was able to pay for it using new taxes from development in town, combined with funds from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
The goal for the move-in date at the new high school is April 28, 2026.
