Henrico breaks ground on new J.R. Tucker, Highland Springs high schools

Construction has begun on a new J.R. Tucker High School and a new Highland Springs High School, a pair of ambitious projects that will deliver modern, state-of-the-art facilities to replace two of Henrico County’s oldest high schools. County government and school officials commemorated the start of work at twin ground-breaking ceremonies held Nov. 1 with students, staff and other guests. “What we are doing here is transformational,” County Manager John A. Vithoulkas told a crowd gathered on a former athletic field at Tucker, where construction equipment sat momentarily idle. “It is for the kids. It is for the community, and it really, really feels good.”
