Right now, Harrisonburg High School is around 300 students over capacity, and that number is only expected to grow. This means they don't just need more space, but more trailers.

This coming fall, four additional trailers will be added outside of Harrisonburg High School to accommodate the growing number of students. The set-up and lease of those trailers is expected to cost $150,000.

They will join the two existing trailers on the south side of the school. Superintendent Dr. Scott Kizner expects they will add another four more the following year, but he says he hopes the trailers are only temporary.

"This community does not want trailers taking up our parking lots and being how we promote our school system, that's not what Harrisonburg is all about," he added.

He says the trailers won't solve all of the problems.

"When we keep adding trailers, we're not doing anything to address the hallways, the cafeteria, the gymnasium, the auditorium," said Kizner.

The four trailers will also take up about 30 to 40 parking spaces on the north side of the school.

Kizner says the school board is working with city council toward a more permanent solution. Construction on the high school annex is expected to start in 2018.
