Good morning, Helena.
On Friday, the Helena Public Schools Board of Trustees selected Slate + RTA as the architect to renovate Capital High School and chose Keith Meyer as their new board member by a vote of 6 to 1; Helena voters approved a $240 million bond in September that allocated over $59,000,000 for the renovations. Keith Meyer, a retired educator, will serve until an election in May 2026.
Former Helena teacher and administrator Keith Meyer was picked for a vacant school board seat; he took the oath of office on Friday and will join the monthly board meeting on Tuesday—serving until May 2026.
