Authorities ruled the fire accidental and is a covered loss. The PCSD 25 Board of Trustees is asking voters to consider approving a $45 million bond to return Highland High School to a fully functioning high school facility. The bond will also expedite the district’s ongoing Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) 5-year schedule to upgrade the multipurpose (gym) facilities at Century High School to expand capacity and meet the educational and extracurricular needs of the student population.
