High school will transform northeast

Kathy and Ken Davis put a “For Sale” sign on their rural property at the intersection of St. Charles Road and Route Z after hearing about the plan for building a new high school nearby.
The 18 acres they bought 20 years ago was once part of a bustling village known as Shaw, where the road linking Centralia and Jefferson City met the Boone’s Lick Trail.
