The 30,000-square-foot facility at at 400 S. Kansas St., League City, was built in 1938 and known as the League City School and used as an elementary and junior high school. As part of Clear Creek ISD’s 2013 bond program, $300,000 was spent to update the building’s air conditioning and heating systems and wireless access, according to city documents.
In 2018 and 2019, the facility housed League City Elementary School students while their campus was torn down and upgraded. The building, which is the oldest in CCISD, has not served students since 2019, the documents read.
By the summer of 2021, CCISD determined the building was too outdated and expensive to renovate as a school and planned to tear it down before the 2021-22 school year began. However, in July 2021, the district instead began leasing the building to League City for $1 a year. League City upgraded the building, and now it will be used as a community center to house recreational programs, camps and civic club meetings, according to a League City news release.
Multiple city departments spent the last few months preparing the building to host the city’s spring break camp in March to determine what other improvements and repairs are necessary. The community center will officially open to the public in June, according to the release.
