The schools will be situated across the street from each other along Schilpf Road south of Franz Road in Grange—16 acres for an elementary school and 35 acres for the junior high, according to the release.
The junior high is expected to be larger than other junior high campuses in the district and will accommodate 1,400 students, KISD’s Chief Operations Officer Ted Vierling said in the news release. A track and tennis court will also be available for public use outside of school-related activities.
The junior high is anticipated to open in 2028, with construction to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, according to the news release.
The construction and opening timeline for the elementary school are to be determined for a future bond date, Vierling said.
