Bids to construct a new Tallassee High School opened on Oct 1. The Tallassee City Schools board is set to award the contract at its monthly meeting.
"The contract calls for tearing down the main THS building and replacing it on the same site with a building matching the architectural style of the old one,” board president Don Bryant said.
