Highland Park ISD builds much-needed new school.
The last time Highland Park ISD built an elementary school was nearly 70 years ago. Times have changed, and the population has grown. The community not only needed a newer school, but a larger one. Recognizing this need, the community passed a $361.4 million bond in 2015 with $29.4 million allocated to a new elementary school, School #5.
The new school sits on 4.6 acres with a quarter of the land being used as green space, including a playground, soccer field, outdoor classroom with a garden and an outdoor amphitheater. Other facilities include a gymnasium, an underground parking garage and a new lane entering from the north side of the school.
