State and local officials, students, staff and community members moments before the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

On Monday, State Senator Derek Slap and State Representative Mike Demicco celebrated the ribbon cutting at the new Farmington High School, made possible with a $44.2 million state reimbursement secured by the Farmington Delegation.

“How exciting is it to see this incredible project finally completed?” said Sen. Slap. “This project has been a great collaboration between state and local leadership, and especially the Farmington community. I am thrilled that Farmington students will have this brand new, state-of-the-art school to continue their education, and I am grateful that through working together with my colleagues in the state government, we could save local taxpayers over $40 million on this important investment. Investing in public education is one of the most important charges of public officials and this project makes it clear that we believe in the promise of Farmington students and the excellence of staff and educators.”

“Thanks to the foresight and perseverance of many dedicated community members, this magnificent and long-anticipated project is finally complete,” said Rep. Mike Demicco.  “It represents an investment in education by the taxpayers of Farmington, that will benefit all of us for decades to come. I am proud to have worked with the town, and with  my legislative colleagues, to secure a $40 million state reimbursement for this project.  It is a great example of collaboration among community members, town officials, and state leaders.”

The Farmington High School project began in the summer of 2022 and students will begin their first day at the new school on Tuesday, August 27. To learn more about the project, please https://fhsbuildingproject.org/.
