JUNCTION CITY — Junction City High School classes for the 2021-22 school year will begin Aug. 25, two weeks later than originally planned. Teachers will report to school on Aug. 12 instead of Aug. 4 and students will begin on the 25.

The new schedule for JCHS was announced and approved by the USD 475 Board of Education Thursday evening.

Dr. Reginald Eggleston, Superintendent of Schools, noted that the change in the schedule is due to the construction on the new school and the pace of that work. "We will add 15 minutes to the day in order to be sure that we cover all of the minutes that we need for seniors as well for all of the students at the high school."

The last day of the school year will be May 17.
