HERMISTON -- A ground breaking ceremony for the new West Park Elementary School in Hermiston is planned for 2 p.m. Monday.
The school first opened in 1950 and is being replaced thanks to a $69.9 million bond approved by voters in 2008. The bond also is paying to replace some other district schools.
