H.W. Houston Construction broke ground on Pueblo District 60’s Nettie S. Freed Expeditionary K-8 school in Pueblo, Colo., in May. Named after the district’s first female superintendent, the school is being built on the 14-acre campus of the former Heroes K-8 Academy, once known as Freed Middle School.
The two-story school will emphasize career and technical education. Students will explore different career pathways through a grade-level-appropriate curriculum from kindergarten through eighth grade. The school is slated to open in fall 2023.
