Breaking Ground for Our Third High School
Now, if you thought that was all, think again! Georgetown ISD is taking things to the next level by constructing its third high school in the lovely northwest area of our city, right near D.B. Wood and Cedar Breaks roads. Imagine a fresh building buzzing with energy and potential! Construction is slated to kick off in spring 2025 and will be ongoing for approximately 38 months. That means we can expect a grand opening in May 2028!
This shiny new high school is designed to accommodate over 2,200 students, which is fantastic news to help ease the congestion at our current high schools. With such a significant boost in educational space, Georgetown ISD is demonstrating its commitment to providing quality education for all students.

Your voices mattered, and now Georgetown is set for an educational transformation that will benefit generations to come.
Future Growth on the Horizon
