The groundbreaking ceremony for Montgomery ISD’s $80 million career and technical education (CTE) and agricultural science centers took place on April 26. The new facilities, located along Lone Star Parkway between Buffalo Springs and Plez Morgan drives, will measure a combined 189,000 square feet once completed. MISD administrators and school board members were in attendance at the event, sharing their excitement for the new facilities.
Construction work on the CTE and ag science centers began in mid-November, with preconstruction activities commencing. The district’s school board approved the guaranteed maximum price of $65.3 million for construction costs on January 23, with the total cost estimated to be $80 million. The Montgomery City Council also agreed to contribute up to one-third of the cost for waterline upgrades needed for the project during its meeting on March 26.
The completion of these new facilities is expected to provide students with innovative and state-of-the-art facilities that will enhance their learning experiences. Montgomery ISD is committed to preparing students for future careers in various industries, including agriculture and technical fields. The new buildings will offer students hands-on learning opportunities and access to cutting-edge technology, helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. Overall, this significant investment in education represents a major step towards ensuring that Montgomery ISD students are well-equipped to succeed in their future careers.
