COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – A $100 million renovation at Colorado Springs’ oldest high school is set to begin this summer. Colorado Springs District 11 is planning a years long project to revamp the Palmer High School in downtown. The district held an open house Tuesday evening to discuss the plans.
It drew in dozens of people who were interested in learning more about what the renovations look like, what they mean for the school, and how it will impact the surrounding community.
” My parents graduated from here and then I did. My children did, so we have a long history,” said Pamela Steele, an alumni of Palmer High School.
The renovation project is set to start in June and wrap up early 2028. It includes tearing down several buildings, update classrooms, and designing a new athletic field area.
