The Horace Mann Elementary project was officially added to the City's Capital Improvement Plan in 2022.
The Horace Mann renovation and addition project will add a new cafeterium, music room and 6 classrooms, and will reconfigure existing space to create a new library/media center as well as other interior modifications. The project is anticipated to be completed by September of 2026.
Project information and School Building Committee meeting presentations and recordings can be found on the Horace Mann Project website. Additional project information can be found below and on Newton Public Buildings’s Horace Mann Project webpage.
