Some background
LCHS will be the district's second high school campus, which has been operating with one high school—New Braunfels High School—for over 170 years. The original structure of the school was built in 2012 and served as a middle school for NBISD before transitioning to a 9th grade center. The construction of the new high school is being funded in two propositions through the district's 2021 voter-approved bond, totaling $327.9 million, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.
The school is in the process of expanding the facility, and currently enrolls freshman and sophomore students. Phase II of the campus expansion is slated to be completed this summer and will consist of a new auditorium, a black box theater, new fine arts classrooms for choir, drama and dance and additional athletic facilities. The first senior class is anticipated to graduate from the campus in 2027, according to the LCHS website.
