Pennsbury School District officially broke ground on a new $269.5 million high school in Falls Township, marking the start of construction on a nearly 500,000-square-foot campus expected to open in fall 2029 and serve up to 3,000 students. District leaders described the project as an investment in the future after years of planning and public debate over costs. The new school will replace the current East and West campus buildings to create one comprehensive high school. The facility will feature modern security, collaborative learning spaces, a 1,000-seat theater, a 3,000-seat gymnasium, a pool, an outdoor courtyard and continued hosting of the district’s prom. Officials said the Class of 2030 is expected to be the first graduating class in the new school. According to a 2023 study posted on the district website, taxes for the average home assessed at $28,000 are expected to rise by $2,476 over 10 years to pay for the project.
