The $71.9 million reconstruction project that’s continuing at Sprayberry High School is the subject of a community open house on Wednesday.
The open house takes place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the main gymnasium lobby at the school (2525 Sandy Plains Road).
That’s the first phase of the project that’s expected to be done in the summer of 2026. The new main classroom building will have four stories and 68 classrooms, new administrative and guidance offices and learning commons. The funding comes from the Cobb Education SPLOST VI.
This is the second academic year for the Sprayberry rebuild, which has prompted major disruptions. Parking has been severely restricted due to several dozen portable classrooms.
When the contract was awarded last spring, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale said that the three-year duration “not going to be a fun time” for the Sprayberry community.
But most of the exterior of the new building is nearing completion (here’s a time-lapse video of the construction thus far, posted recently on the school’s Instagram page). In addition to classrooms, the building will house administrative and guidance offices and a learning commons.
In the second phase, renovations will be made to existing cafeteria space and other facilities.
All work is expected to be completed by the start of the 2027-28 school year. The contractor is Carroll Daniel Construction of Atlanta, which rebuilt the Osborne High School campus.
