Students at Weaver High School in Hartford are beginning the new school year at a completely renovated school.
The school cost $133 million to rebuild and Tuesday is the first day students will be inside.
They'll get to experience a brand new rebuilt high school that includes Kinsella Magnet School for the Performing Arts.
The space can fit 800 students.
There are high-tech science labs complete with smart boards and computers for every student.
There are also two dance studios.
The district said the new building is a big deal for both students and staff.

"This community has waited such a long time for this beautiful state-of-the-art building. It's significant not only for our students, but for the faculty and staff Who are ready to offer students an amazing opportunity as a result of having this facility," said Hartford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez.
Mayor Luke Bronin said it's a vital project, which is part of a larger plan to redevelop the Blue Hills neighborhood.
"The north end of Hartford is a neighborhood, a set of neighborhoods that were neglected for so long and were disinvested for so long so we've worked really hard on neighborhood development," Bronin added.
The state paid for a large portion of the new school.
