On September 14 at the Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) Governing Board Meeting, Yuma High announced they will have their science lab renovated.
They plan to start construction on October 2022 and completing it by the beginning of the 2023-24 school year, one floor at a time will be renovated.
"Remodeling our science rooms will create modern functional spaces that promote student-centered learning,” YHS Principal Michael Fritz said.
