Construction of the new North Springs High School building continues on Roswell Road, with the school posting construction photos on Monday, Sept. 21, showing progress on the $177 million project.

The school's official X account shared three images of the building site, tagging the principal's account and Fulton County Schools Zone 6. The new building is scheduled to be substantially complete by May 7, 2027, with the full project wrapping up by Aug. 15, 2028, according to timelines FCS Chief Operations Officer Noel Maloof laid out during the board's April 2025 approval of the Phase 2 contract.

That Phase 2 contract, worth $136.8 million, went to Carroll Daniel Construction of Gainesville. The Fulton County Schools Board of Education approved it on April 24, 2025, as Rough Draft Atlanta reported. The scope covers the new school building, parking lots, driveways, a running track, football field, softball field, tennis courts, and a new storm system and utilities. The existing school will be demolished once the new building opens.

In January 2024, Superintendent Mike Looney told a community meeting at Holcomb Bridge Middle School that the project was a month behind schedule due to bid delays and rising costs, as Rough Draft Atlanta reported at the time. Maloof told the same meeting that a 40 percent spike in construction costs had caught the district off guard, far exceeding the 3 to 5 percent increase FCS had budgeted.

Phase 1, approved in April 2024, cost $15.6 million and covered site preparation: demolition of the old sports facilities, new access driveways off Trowbridge Road, retaining walls, utility relocation, and drainage systems. Vertical Earth of Cumming handled that work.

The new building is designed for 1,500 students. North Springs' enrollment stood at about 1,100 as of the April 2025 board discussion. Maloof also told the board the facility would house a north campus of the Promise Career Institute (PCI), a career and technical education program previously available only at the College Park location in south Fulton.

District 2 board member Lillie Pozatek said at an April 17, 2025, work session that the PCI addition would help Sandy Springs families. "On this side of the river, for example, we had several lots of students who wanted to go down to PCI, but the distance was just prohibitive of that …" Pozatek said.

The construction has already shifted some school operations. North Springs' 2025 Summer Bridge program for incoming ninth graders moved to Sandy Springs Middle School because of the building work, according to a school flyer.

The project is funded by the education special local option sales tax (ESPLOST V) under Fulton County Schools' Capital Plan 2027. The next major milestone is the May 2027 substantial completion date for the building itself.
