TOWSON, Md. — Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Myriam Rogers joined state and county officials Thursday as they broke ground on a $288 million construction project at Towson High School that will modernize the 1940s-era facility.

"A new and more focused emphasis on academic achievement, civic pride and student and community excitement. It is that promise that we celebrate today. I am energized at the thought of this new school and how it blends the achievements of the past with the anticipation of tomorrow," Rogers said.

A five-story classroom addition will add nearly 500 new seats. The new wing will house career and technical programs, special education services and the school's law and public policy magnet programs.
