The Gainesville I.S.D Board of Trustees recently
unanimously voted to approve the building type and site location for the
new high school. The new high school which will be located between the
frontage road of Interstate 35 and 1306 will face Interstate 35, be
constructed near the center of the district owned property, and will
consist of approximately 180,000 square feet. The new school is designed
for future expansion of all academic and core areas should the need
arise. The campus will have students in grades nine through twelve and is
originally being designed for 1,000 students in the academic areas with
the building accommodating 1,200 students in the core areas. The district
architects and engineers are currently working on both off-site utility
plans and building plans. The construction of off-site utilities will
occur first and will be followed by the school building construction.
Student and bus access to the school will occur
off of 1306. Only staff and visitor parking will be in front of the
school with student parking being located in back of the school. There
will also be staff parking on both the North and South sides of the school
building.
