City wants your input on the new Maury High School designs
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) โ City leaders are looking for input on the plans to build an all new Maury High School to replace its current, historic structure that was built more than 100 years ago โ in 1911.
A wide rendering provided by Norfolk Public Schools shows the basics of their master plan. They want to preserve the historic building and repurpose it for something else, with a new four-story school to be built to its north. Things like a new baseball field and tennis court will be set up on the eastern end.

School leaders are highlighting features such as outdoor learning spaces, new athletic facilities and a constructed wetland for flood resistance. The city considers input from Norfolk residents to be an important part of the process.
"The city wants to hear from the residents and the students who are going to be using the school," said Kelly Straub with the city of Norfolk. "So we want to make sure that we're hitting their needs and providing for them."
The meeting starts at 6 p.m. Thursday inside the Maury High School cafeteria.
