2026 JCC High School Renovations UPDATE
June 23, 2026
Renovations to the Johnson County Central High School are underway! After a month of demolition, the crews have started installing ductwork for the HVAC system and finishing the pipework for the fire suppression (sprinkler) system.
This is part of a $2.8 million dollar project to update the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) system. Due to the scope of the HVAC replacement, the district is required to make fire code updates as well. These include the sprinkler system, updated doors to the corridors, smoke seals between rooms and doors. The pictures provided show the extent of some of the work being done. As the crews need to access the areas above the ceilings, ceiling tiles (and some lighting) is also being replaced.
The Building Commitee will be meeting with engineers to discuss the next phases for the high school building to be done in 2027. These will, but will not be limited to, exterior doors and dual entry vestubles, safety upgrades, handicap accessibility (this would include an elevator), science lab renovations and windows.
