Springfield Lutheran High School has found a new location for classes this fall after its school building was declared unsafe because of mine subsidence.
Lutheran High students will use space at First Church of the Nazarene on the South Sixth Street Frontage Road. While some details are still being worked out, classes are expected to begin in the last week of August. The school had to find new space for around 150 high school students because subsidence of old abandoned mines underneath its building on West Washington Street led to cracks in walls and floors starting to sag.
It’s unclear how long it will take to repair or replace the school building and how long Lutheran may have to hold its high school classes at the church.
