If bond election passes, when will High School #3 open?
This is a very popular question that a lot of people have asked in the run up to the Alvin ISD bond election on 05-Nov-2013: If the bond election is passed, when will High School #3 open?
Alvin ISD expects construction of High School #3 to begin immediately. The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees has already commissioned an architect firm to work on the design of the facility. If the construction proceeds according to plan, the projected opening of the school is the 2016-2017 school year. This is based on the length of time it takes to construct a facility of this magnitude. At the October Board Meeting, the Alvin ISD Board approved a construction manager at-risk for this project.
The two-year construction timeframe is very much in line with construction of similar high school facilities elsewhere in the country.
On a related topic, Manvel Junior High at Rodeo Palms currently serves Manvel as well as areas west of 288. There is no other Junior High serving the Manvel Area. With the completion of a new Manvel Junior High, the current junior high at Rodeo Palms campus will become Rodeo Palms Junior High and it will provide a great deal of relief to Nolan Ryan Junior High. Construction would begin immediately for a projected opening date of 2015-2016 school year.
We hope all residents of Alvin ISD will support the bond election in this exciting time for the Alvin school district. Investment in schools and our children secures the future of the entire community and our society.

I dont want this near my house. It is a foolish plan to build high school, which brings with it terrible traffic, on a road already clogged with cars. Also, the noise from the planned stadium will destroy our peace and quiet. Build it somewhere else!
ReplyDeleteYou are probably among the few houses in the area that will have highest price appreciation. Imagine a high schooler who doesn't need to drive a long distance to school or probably even need a car....thus increasing time available to study and keeping car insurance costs lower.
ReplyDeleteThe city has plans to expand FM-518 and Kirby to accommodate higher traffic.
Educational institutions near your house is highly sought after.
Overall a net benefit no matter how you look at it.
