Breaking ground on three high school activity centers may interrupt traffic patterns, relocate some athletic fields, and bring hope and excitement for the future. 

• Eastview and Apple Valley High School construction will start in late May 2025. Projects at both schools include adding the Activity Center, renovating for science, and improving performance areas.
• Scott Highlands Middle School construction will continue through the school year and two summers and include eight new classrooms, new science labs, performance spaces, and additional parking.
• Valley Middle and Falcon Ridge Middle Schools' new science labs and interior renovations will stretch over two summers. 
• Dakota Ridge School construction of six classrooms and a multi-purpose room addition is on schedule for completion in August 2025.
• Thomas Lake Elementary will have a new dedicated bus loop, additional parking, and new traffic flow completed this summer.

Rosemount High School is the most extensive project, and it will take up to three years to complete the Activity Center addition, classroom additions, and interior renovations. Summer construction will coincide with the MN DOT closure of Highway 3 (east of the school) as the state constructs a roundabout at 142nd St. W. The city will also rebuild Chili Avenue (southwest of the school)  but allow continuous access for school use. The middle school north baseball/softball fields will be inaccessible from May 2025 until work is completed in summer 2027.
