Round Rock ISD confirmed the location for High School No. 6 will be off Pearson Ranch Road in a statement Aug. 19.

District officials previously said the new high school would either be located along Pearson Ranch—next to the site of a new middle school and Elsa England Elementary School—or another location near the intersection of Old Settlers Boulevard and A.W. Grimes Boulevard in Round Rock. Corey Ryan, RRISD public information officer, confirmed the Pearson Ranch location was selected after a trustee mentioned the location Thursday.

During the same board meeting, trustees also unanimously selected Bartlett-Cooke General Contractors LLC as the construction manager for the High School No. 6 project. As part of the approval process, $75,000 was dedicated toward pre-construction efforts, with the money originating from 2008 bond surplus funds, according to board documents.

RRISD in April approved an $11 million contract with architecture firm O’Connell Robertson to design and plan the new comprehensive high school, though the site had not been selected at that time. The $11 million also came from surplus revenue leftover from the 2008 bond.

The project could go on a May 2017 bond referendum, according to the district, which would require voter approval before proceeding.
