The Sheldon ISD school board recently approved these plans for the new high school and site development fronting Beltway 8 near Garrett Road.

The project is part of the $285 million bond issue passed by voters in May 2016, according to Superintendent King Davis.

General Contractor Durotech has begun work on the site, clearing and grading in the initial phase.

The project will include a new football stadium, parking and a water retention lake.

Davis said that the bond package also included a new sixth elementary school, technology upgrades district-wide, and conversion of C.E.King high school to a new middle school, and conversion of the middle school to an Educational Support Building. Other additions and renovations will be undertaken on existing district schools.
