Thank you for your support in making this happen!

We can’t teach tomorrow’s students in yesterday’s building.

Your vote matters on November 4th and turnout is critical

Polls are open from 11am to 7pm in Great Barrington, Stockbridge, and West Stockbridge

Vote YES on both ballot questions

#1 Should we build a new high school for $152 million ($89 million from taxpayers and $61 million from the state)? YES!

#2 Should we protect the town budget by exempting the project from the 2.5% tax cap? YES!

Vote on 11/4

On November 4, 2025, residents of Great Barrington, West Stockbridge, and Stockbridge will vote on a proposal to build a new Monument Mountain High School, opening in 2029.

The current building, constructed in 1968, has reached the end of its life, and we must now choose between building new or making repairs.

Our Current High School

Was built in 1968 and does not meet 21st-century educational needs.
Does not meet today’s accessibility and fire codes.
Has failing electrical systems; an outdated, inefficient HVAC system; and poor ventilation.
Presents safety concerns, including no sprinkler system and far too many access points (49 exterior doors and 99 windows large enough to step through).

WHAT A YES VOTE MEANS

Securing $61 million in state funding, making taxpayer money go much further

Minimal disruption—students will stay in the current building until the new one opens in 2029
A safer, more efficient, “net zero” building with improved learning spaces
A predictable tax impact for district residents

WHAT A NO VOTE MEANS

Turning down $61 million in state funds

Taxpayers will have to spend an estimated $89 million on piecemeal repairs to the current school
No significant educational improvements
Unpredictable tax impacts
A decade of disruption, with students attending school in an active construction site
