GALESBURG, Ill. — Construction crews are taking on what used to be the boy's bathroom, breaking everything down as part of the $42.5 Million renovation project at Galesburg High School.
"I've been here a long time and have seen a lot of change, but the building hasn't changed," Principal Jeff Houston says. "It's time."
It's about a 70-year-old building, which students haven't seen since March. But at the start of the next school year, the high school will have a brand new look.
