JHL Constructors Breaks Ground on the Future of Education at Talon Ridge Middle School

JHL Constructors Breaks Ground on 27J School District’s Talon Ridge Middle School

JHL Constructors is excited to announce the groundbreaking of Talon Ridge Middle School, a state-of-the-art 133,000-square-foot facility designed to serve over 800 students in grades 6-8. Located on a 25-acre site, this cutting-edge school is a collaborative project with 27J School District, Anser Advisory, and HED Architects, who designed the school with both functionality and innovation in mind.

The new school will feature a two-story classroom wing equipped with the latest educational technology, along with an administration area, gymnasium, cafeteria, media center, athletic fields, and more. Designed to meet the growing needs of the district, Talon Ridge Middle School will provide an enriched environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive.

The groundbreaking ceremony was marked by an extraordinary community turnout, where local families, students, and staff came together to paint a mural in celebration of the new build, adding a personal and creative touch to the occasion.

“We’re excited to bring Talon Ridge Middle School to life as part of our ongoing partnership with the 27J School District,” said Stephen Schaunaman, Project Manager at JHL Constructors. “It’s an honor to help deliver a school that provides students with the tools and environment to thrive and that will serve the community for many years to come.”

Construction is now underway, with completion anticipated for the 2026 school year.
