Turner Construction Company has begun work on the $150-million New Frayser Community High School. Located in Memphis, Tennessee, the project will serve 1,500 students.
Spanning 270,000 square feet, the new high school is consolidating the current MLK Prep and Trezevant High School into one modern learning environment. The project will enhance the campus with a specialized center for career and technology education, a creative arts or fine arts center, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) labs, advanced broadcast facilities, graphic design classrooms, modern sports facilities and Junior ROTC facilities.
The building will also emphasize durability, safety and adaptability to accommodate future technological advancements and evolving teaching methods. The development will be constructed in two phases and is scheduled to open for the 2027–28 academic year.
