The overview
Lake Houston Middle School, which is scheduled to open before the start of the 2025-26 school year, will be located on West Lake Houston Parkway and Timber Forest Drive near Centennial Elementary School in Atascocita.
The new middle school was included in a roughly $775 million bond package approved by voters in May 2022. Construction on the project began in November, district officials said.
A closer look
Officials said the roughly 213,000-square-foot, three-story facility is expected to cost about $80.8 million and is designed to house around 1,250 students.
According to district documents, Lake Houston Middle School’s proposed school colors are black and gold, with light blue and gray accents.
Officials said the new middle school will serve students residing in neighborhoods zoned to Autumn Ridge and West Lake middle schools, with the potential to take on some students zoned to attend Woodcreek Middle School.
What’s next
Officials noted once attendance boundaries have been approved, families residing in the new campus’ boundaries will be invited to help select the school’s mascot.
