RHS Modernization Project August 2023

Introducing the Richmond High Modernization Project Newsletter!

What Is the Richmond High School Modernization Project?

We have been listening to our families, staff, community, and Board regarding the need to modernize Richmond High School. WCCUSD shares our community's strong desire to revitalize the Richmond High School campus.


With that feedback, the Board authorized the District to engage the community in order to better understand the needs of future Richmond students and staff, and to create the scope of a project to meet those needs within the available resources. This phase of the Richmond High redesign project includes host student feedback sessions & surveys, establish a budget, and plan what a Richmond High School redesign could look like.


This critical phase provides a clear roadmap for the future Richmond High School campus. Pending board approval of the scope and budget that are produced during this phase, we will complete full architectural design & construction to modernize Richmond High School.

Status: From Planning to Design

Where have we been?

District Facilities and the Design Team began to engage our community and develop the project's scope in Spring 2023. In this phase, we use the information and the planning from the master plan, which ultimately will result in a phased building plan that will produce a 21st Learning environment at Richmond High School.


Where are we headed?

In early November, we will bring the scope and budget of this project to the WCCUSD Board for approval. Following Board approval, the final design work for the first phase of construction will begin.
