On April 26, Montgomery ISD held a groundbreaking ceremony for its $80 million career and technical education and agricultural science centers. The new centers will be located along Lone Star Parkway between Buffalo Springs and Plez Morgan drives and will measure a combined 189,000 square feet once completed.
The 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.
With the completion of these new facilities, Montgomery ISD aims to provide students with innovative and state-of-the-art facilities that will enhance their learning experiences. The district 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 milestone in ensuring that Montgomery ISD students have access to top-quality facilities that will help them excel academically and professionally.
