District and Fresno High leaders and staff as well as members of the community will gather for a groundbreaking ceremony for an auxiliary gym to be built just north of the main gym. The second gym will provide more space for athletic events, student activities and P.E. classes. Funds for the gym will come from Measure M, a local facilities bond measure passed by voters in 2020.

The total area is 122,900 square feet, which includes a 16,645 square-foot auxiliary gym with team rooms, restrooms and a snack bar. The $11.9 million project also includes the construction of eight tennis courts and two half-court basketball courts, as well as site and utility work. The project is expected to take 14 months and should be completed by July 2025.

"This project will provide much needed additional gym space for not only our athletes but our P.E. classes and a variety of student activities. We are grateful for our community's support for Measure M, which ensured the funding for the auxiliary gym and other improvements to Fresno High," said Interim Superintendent Misty Her.

Parking: The site will be accessible from Weldon Avenue and Echo Avenue.
