This initiative reflects the district’s commitment to improving educational facilities in response to increasing enrollment.

These developments signify a vital investment in the future of education in the Georgetown community.

Georgetown, Texas – Georgetown Independent School District (ISD) officials marked a significant milestone on May 9, 2025, with the groundbreaking ceremony for Middle School No. 5 and Elementary School No. 12. This event emphasizes the district’s dedication to enhancing educational facilities to accommodate its growing student population.

The new middle and elementary schools are essential components of ongoing developments within Georgetown ISD, aiming to provide better educational environments for students and families in the area. As the district continues to experience an increase in enrollment, the construction of these schools reflects proactive measures to meet educational demands in the community.

In addition to the new middle and elementary schools, Georgetown ISD is advancing plans for a third high school, with its construction scheduled to commence in spring 2025. This facility will be located near D.B. Wood and Cedar Breaks roads in the northwest section of Georgetown, addressing the need for more comprehensive educational infrastructure as the district expands.

The recent Board of Trustees meeting held on December 2 outlined these plans, which include a detailed strategy for the new high school. Once completed, the high school is expected to accommodate over 2,200 students, offering modern amenities and educational resources designed to enhance the learning experience.

The estimated timeline for the new high school project is approximately 38 months, with an anticipated completion date set for May 2028. This new high school will join the existing education facilities and is part of a broader strategy to ensure that Georgetown ISD can continue to provide quality education to a growing number of students.

The funding for this ambitious educational expansion comes from a voter-approved bond package amounting to $649 million, which was passed in May 2024. This financial backing will support not only the construction of the new high school but also ensure additional resources are available for infrastructure improvements across the district.

The designated site for the new high school has been planned with future growth in mind, as it also includes space for additional middle and elementary schools. As these educational facilities are developed, Georgetown ISD emphasizes its commitment to improving educational outcomes for all students.

The community can expect a groundbreaking for the new high school to take place in March or April of 2025, further solidifying Georgetown ISD’s ongoing dedication to enhancing the educational landscape in the region.

As Georgetown ISD continues to grow and evolve, the development of Middle School No. 5, Elementary School No. 12, and the new high school represents a crucial investment in the future of education within the Georgetown community.
