Lake Travis ISD officials are taking suggestions for the future name and mascot of the
district's third middle school that is now under construction in western Travis County.

Located off Hwy. 71 and Vail Divide behind the district's Transportation, Distribution
and Data Center, the $76.2 million facility was designed by Fields & Associates Architects and will be built by American Constructors, according to an LTISD press release.

The 240,000-square-foot campus will accommodate 1,200 students in two-story, grade-level buildings with views of the Texas Hill Country. The school will feature natural lighting, outdoor learning areas and athletic facilities.

The project is part of the district's $253 million bond program approved by voters in November 2017.

In accordance with school board policy, district facilities shall be named for local
residential or geographic areas or regional, state, or national landmarks and/or historical
events.

All suggested school names and mascots received will  be presented to the LTISD board of trustees May 15. A final decision by the school board is anticipated June 19.

The public survey, available on each LTISD campus website and on the district's 'School Matters' online news outlet, is open until May 8.

Construction of the new middle school is expected to be complete by August 2019.
