Before construction is complete on Reedy High School on Stonebrook Parkway—Frisco ISD's eighth high school, which is scheduled to open fall 2015—the district has already broken ground on High School No. 9.
The FISD Board of Trustees at its August meeting approved an initial guaranteed maximum price of about $82 million for the new high school, named Lebanon High School, on the northwest corner of Lebanon Road and Ohio Drive just south of the FISD Administration Building. Dirt work has already begun at the site.
Although Reedy High School will open with ninth- and 10th-grade students to relieve Frisco High School and Wakeland High School, the plan is for Lebanon High School to open with about 500 ninth-grade students only to limit the impact on students living in areas that were affected by rezoning for Independence High School.
The ninth high school, to open in fall 2016, will relieve Independence, Centennial and Liberty high schools.
Independence and Liberty are projected to be over the 2,100-student capacity for FISD high schools by 2016. Centennial is projected to have 2,051 students by 2016.

The FISD Board of Trustees also in August agreed on a guaranteed maximum price of $10.37 million for the expansion of the Career and Technical Education Center.
The 44,000-square-foot expansion of the Wade Boulevard building will include flexible classroom and collaboration space.
Construction on the new wing is expected to have little effect on the existing building.
With the addition, the student capacity will be expanded from 3,500 students to up to 5,000 students.
The new expansion is planned to open in August 2015.
