The gist
The district’s fourth high school and second agricultural science center will receive names through the district’s nomination process for community recommendations.
Trustees can choose a name from the nomination process if it meets at least one of the following categories:
- In memory of a person who has served the district or community, especially in service to children
- In memory of a person who has made a significant contribution to society and/or education and his/her name will lend prestige and status
- A local residential or geographic area
- A district property donor or his/her family members
The nomination process will be open through Nov. 9. Residents can request an electronic nomination form online or by calling the district at 817-215-0171.
The background
The district’s fourth high school will be located near I-35 and SH 170 in Fort Worth, while the new agricultural center will be located in Haslet.
The two facilities are being constructed with funds from a May 2023 bond approved by voters. Roughly $1.7 billion of the nearly $2 billion bond is being used for a number of new facilities to address the district’s growth, according to the district.
The high school is expected to receive students from Tidwell and Worthington middle schools, according to the district, and will mitigate student populations at Eaton and Byron Nelson high schools.
The agricultural science center will be shared by the new high school and Eaton High School. The existing Kelly Box Agricultural Science Center will be shared by Byron Nelson and Northwest high schools, according to the district.
