A new high school is under construction in St. Lucie County boasting a state-of-the art design inside each classroom.
Tradition Preparatory High School is expected to open this August for the 2021-2022 school year.
The school will initially serve high school freshmen and sophomores, with plans to add a grade each year.
“Eventually it'll be 1,200 students. This first year, starting in August, our goal is to have 600 students between ninth and tenth grade,” said Teresa Brown, principal of Tradition Preparatory High School. “Then we'll add a grade level every year after that.”
