CTE Building & New High School Gym Progress Update

🚧 CTE Building Progress – The Building Pad Is Taking Shape!
Construction is everywhere we look, but it’s exciting to see things beginning to take on a familiar shape. What was just a lot of dirt two short weeks ago is now almost a completed building pad for the new Career & Technical Education (CTE) Building.

Although there’s still a long road ahead before we’re walking through the halls, the building footprint is visible — and both progress and excitement are in the air! Behind the scenes and underground, there’s a tremendous amount of earthwork involved in reaching this stage. Crews have been rerouting existing utilities, preparing for new ones, building a strong foundation to the proper elevation, and planning for long-term ground water management.

Continue watching for future updates as our general contractor, Division One Construction, provides regular drone footage of the construction area. Together, we’ll watch this project come to life!

🚨 New High School Gym Coming Soon!
Work has also begun on the new High School Gym, located next to the CTE site. This facility will provide much-needed space for athletics, physical education, and community events, further enhancing opportunities for students and families. Site preparation and initial foundation work are underway, marking another exciting step in our 2023 Bond projects.

Our official groundbreaking ceremony for both projects was held on October 29th, celebrating the start of a new chapter for Hargrave High School and Huffman ISD!

 

We are excited to share that renovations to 7 classrooms and several hallways at Huffman Middle

School have been completed. Work is also underway on the new addition at the front of the building, which will include 5 classrooms and a Science Lab. This project will continue throughout the school year and is expected to open in time for the start of the next school year.]

 

 

Middle School Construction is Well Underway!

Exciting progress is happening at Huffman Middle School! Construction is in full swing as we expand the campus to better serve our students and staff. 

This project includes new classrooms to accommodate growth and support learning, along with reconfigured hallwaysdesigned to improve traffic flow and make movement throughout the building safer and more efficient.

We are committed to creating a modern, functional learning environment that enhances the educational experience for all Falcons. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue transforming Huffman Middle School for the future!

Middle School Improvements Project – Bidding is Now Complete

The bidding period for the Middle School addition and renovation project closed on Thursday, April 3^rd. The district held a pre-proposal conference where vendors were invited to come and hear additional details about the construction project, and walk-through the Middle School campus.

When proposals are received, they are evaluated and graded. The district meets with the Construction Subcommittee to review the bids and the findings of the review process. A vendor is then recommended for the school board’s review and approval at the next board meeting on April 28^th.

The district will then notify the winning general contractor, and they can begin to mobilize onsite at the middle school. Construction is scheduled to begin in May. The work will continue in two phases. Phase I will be completed by July 2025, and Phase II will be completed by July 2026.

It is exciting to know that after all of the planning we have been doing behind the scenes, we will start to see movement and physical progress take shape at HMS.

 

Safety & Security

enhancing campus safety and providing advanced monitoring capabilities. Work has also begun at Huffman Middle School (HMS), where crews are actively running cables to prepare for the new system.

Campus administrators are already loving the upgraded system, noting improved visibility and a greater sense of security for students and staff. As this project continues to roll out across the district, we can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on all our campuses.
