Support the Gateway High School Initiative Online and In-Person<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The School District of Lee County is considering putting a new high school in Gateway in time for the 2018-19 school year. Members of the community have come together to build support for the proposed Gateway High School. Gateway just has the 48 acres required for a High School in Lee County at a Lee County District School Board owned site on the corner of Griffin Drive and SR82. The growth projections for the Gateway and Treeline corridor show the population to support the Gateway High School. However, the School District of Lee County Advisory Committee is concerned about the expansion plans for the SR82 roadway and how traffic from the Gateway High School will be handled on such a busy roadway. The other potential site is an Alva High School, which gives them plenty of room for the school but the concern is lack of utilities and growth projections for the area.<\/p>\n
