Orange County Public Schools will host a 40% Construction Community Meeting regarding the relief high school planned for Seidel Road in Horizon West.

The meeting will be held virtually at noon Monday, Aug. 17. Those interested can register for the meeting here.

The new school currently has a temporary address of 10393 Seidel Road, Winter Garden. The school is scheduled to open in August 2021.

High school site 113-H-W-4 will be located on a 69.8-acre property, and the total building square footage is approximately 344,000 square feet. The school will be comprised of five primary buildings: An administration building that acts as a secure, single-point of entry during school hours; a building that will house the media center and gymnasium; a cafeteria; a music room and auditorium building; and a three-story classroom building. The buildings will be situated around a centralized courtyard and would look similar to the design of Windermere High.

The school will have a student capacity of 2,776.
