HIALEAH HIGH SCHOOL KICKS OFF GO BOND PROJECT

Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho, School Board Chair Perla Tabares Hantman, Hialeah Senior High Principal Heriberto Sanchez and several District representatives gathered at Hialeah High this morning to kick off its General Obligation Bond construction project.  

Slated to be completed January 2016, Hialeah High’s planned renovations include major building improvements, upgrades to lighting, plumbing, flooring, gymnasium, security and safety systems, among others. The school also will receive a new energy management system, new drop-off and covered walkway and classroom technology.

The GOB program provides a total project allocation of approximately $15 million and the School Board commissioned the architectural firm of Wolfberg Alvarez & Partners as the architect of record. Wolfberg Alvarez & Partners is certified by the District as a minority-owned firm and has committed to a 25 percent small and micro business utilization goal.

Hialeah High originally opened its doors in the early 1950s, and over time renovations have been undertaken and new space has been added, including an auditorium and most recently a parking structure under collaboration with the City of Hialeah.
