Taconic High School is a high school in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Taconic was built in 1968 and opened in 1969. While offering general education courses, its primary focus was on vocational training and it offered such courses as auto mechanics, printing, drafting, electronics, carpentry and others. As of May 2016, J. H. Maxymillian Inc. officially broke ground on a $120.8 million plan to construct a new Taconic High School at the same location. J. H. Maxymillian Inc. won the bid for three early contracts on the construction of the school. The new high school is set to be completed for the September 2018 school year and the old school is set to be demolished upon completion of the new one. The new school will cover 246,520 square feet to accommodate 920 students.
