Katy ISD Breaks Ground on Elementary #41

Campus set to open in Fall 2018

Katy ISD Superintendent, Lance Hindt speaks before the ground breaking ceremony for Elementary School #41

The drum roll from the Seven Lakes Junior High Band marked the official groundbreaking on Elementary #41, which is set to be built in the fairly new community of Cross Creek Ranch.

This new campus is being made possible in part from savings from the 2014 bond and will serve to address growing enrollment taking place throughout Katy ISD.  The campus features diverse and transformative spaces that will blend learning with technology and opportunities for deepened engagement.

“In this area, we have four elementary schools which have opened up within the last five years and all of them have exceeded maximum capacity,” said Superintendent Lance Hindt.  “Elementary #41 will probably also open up near maximum capacity.”

Newly appointed Katy ISD Board of Trustees President Ashley Vann along with other board members also participated in the commemorative event. “The growth you see here in Katy serves as a testimony to the community, the culture and the legacy that we have built here together,” added Vann.
