Construction began on August 19, 2008, and completed just in time for the 2010–2011 school year. A public open house was held on September 1, 2010, and week later opened to students for the first day of school on September 8, 2010. The new lighted soccer and baseball/softball fields are adjacent to the school where the Ashland Community High School used to be.
