LHS Groundbreaking Ceremony 2026

The Hendry County School District held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 28, 2026, to mark the start of construction for a new high school in Label. The project, valued between $120 million and $130 million, has involved extensive planning over four and a half years, including multiple RFPs, board approvals, and the selection of key partners such as Grace Design for architectural services and Owens, Amy, and Kimble for construction management. The ceremony highlighted the collaborative efforts of district leaders, city officials, and community stakeholders to provide modern, state-of-the-art educational facilities. The new school aims to support the district's academic goals and serve as a community hub, with construction expected to be completed in approximately 18 months.
