One thing to know
Blue Valley West is on track for significant upgrades following city approvals.
The Overland Park Planning Commission on Monday approved two separate additions to the high school located at 16200 Antioch Rd.
Blue Valley West is getting a nearly 12,000 square foot gym and storm shelter addition located on the south side of the existing building.
Parking lot modifications are part of the gym and shelter addition, as well.
