School's out forever: Grand Junction HS prepares for demolition

Seniors at Grand Junction High School will be the last class to ever graduate from the old building next month.
Built in 1956, the 68-year-old school has serious foundation and structural issues that are impossible to repair. The school was founded in 1891 and moved once after the turn of the century before settling into the flat roofed, brick building with long hallways at 1400 N 5th Street.
In 2021, Mesa County voters approved a$115 million bond measure to replace the high school.
That taxpayer money, plus $29.5 million in grants and other funds add up to $144.5 million for the new school facility. Construction started in 2022 and will finish by the fall for the 2024 school year.
