Seneca Valley High School is opening a larger school in the 2020-2021 school year to alleviate overcrowding at Clarksburg and Northwest high schools.
The new state of the art high school will ensure that all 2,600+ students have access to courses and programs that provide the academic knowledge to be prepared for college, but also the skills and experiences to gain a competitive edge in today’s economy.
Officials say all of the programs currently at Seneca Valley will remain. Additionally, several new high-demand programs have been planned as part of the new facility. New programs include the addition of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (subject to authorization), Cyber Security, Construction and Architecture, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Law Enforcement, and more.
