Diving in deeper
The district’s newest elementary school will be the sixth in DSISD and is under construction off Mira Vista Drive in the Headwaters neighborhood. District officials celebrated a groundbreaking of the school June 18.
The campus will accommodate 850 students and aims to relieve overcrowding at Dripping Springs Elementary and Walnut Springs Elementary.
District officials are working on rezoning existing attendance boundaries to accommodate for the school’s opening for the 2025-26 school year. Attendance zoning is expected to be approved at the Dec. 16 board meeting.
