In the early 1990s, community members, parents, staff and Board members came together to determine a plan for growth. With 75 square miles, it was clear that FISD could not remain a one high school community. The group decided students would best be served in ninth through 12th grade high schools that were small enough that students could know each other, know their teachers, and have the opportunity to participate in multiple activities and organizations.
May 2006: $798 million (72% approval)
Growth patterns shifted to the secondary level more than was projected during the planning for the 2006 bond, and the remaining elementary funds were diverted to build Reedy High School and to build additions at the existing high schools to take them to a 2,100 student capacity. With 300 additional students accommodated across six high schools, 1,800 more students were added to existing campuses - the equivalent of one additional high school.
