The Highland High School gym floor is being replaced. According to Superintendent Chris Armstrong, work on the new floor is scheduled to begin in July.

He says their athletic booster club has volunteered to help tear out the existing floor, which was installed when the high school was built in 1965. They’ll begin that process next month.

The roughly $75,000 project is being financed using a $35,000 Washington County Riverboat Foundation grant that the district is matching. Armstrong says they’re considering selling pieces of the old gym floor, like the center circle, to offset the cost.
