West Mesa High School breaks ground on multi-million dollar makeover

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – An Albuquerque high school is getting a multi-million dollar makeover. Crews hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at West Mesa High School Thursday.
Officials are spending nearly $19 million to renovate the school that’s been here since 1967. Among the changes are about 70 new classrooms.
Right now many students are using portables. The money will also be used to fix up the courtyard and other areas on campus. Construction should be done by January 2017.
