School district to provide updates on second high school

Dripping Springs ISD will hold four community update meetings on the schematic design for the district’s second high school May 8-9 in the Center for Learning and Leadership Live Oak Room — located at 300 Sportsplex Drive.

Meetings will be held from 10—11 a.m. and 6-7 p.m. on both Wednesday, May 8 and Thursday, May 9. Attendees can enter through the main entrance of the Center for Learning and Leadership.

VLK, the architecture firm overseeing the high school design process, will cover the progress made since the community input meetings held in January, as well as information gathered from the community survey and the High School #2 Design Committee. Currently, a Project Advisory Team comprised of students, parents, staff and community members are working alongside VLK and district administration on the campus design.

The district’s second high school will accommodate 2,500 students in grades 9-12 on Darden Hill Road in Driftwood. At this point, only the design portion of the second high school has been approved by voters. Construction for the second high school would need to be funded through a future bond program. Information and updates on the 2023 bond can be found at dsisdtx.us/ bond2023.
