Massachusetts District Prepares for New High School

The new Stoughton High School in Stoughton, Mass. is on track for its targeted completion date of the 2019-2020 school year, officials confirmed recently. The new high school facility is in the final phases of steel beam construction, and will begin the process of both slabbing fireproofing in the coming weeks.
