Rediscover Fort Worth ISD Celebrates Renovations, Improvements at Western Hills High School
There was plenty of “new” to see atWestern Hills High School on Thursday –from a beautiful façade to modern instructional areas to a professional-quality A/V production studio – and visitors were wowed by the changes.
It’s all part of the District’s “Rediscover Fort Worth ISD” initiative to showcase new construction at our schools as a result of the Capital Improvement Program approved by voters in 2017. When students return to in-person learning on August 16, they will also see:
- A secure, glass-enclosed entry
- Bright hallways and contemporary classrooms
- Media center and collaboration spaces
- Athletics wing with new entry
The event began with a welcome from Board of Education Trustee Dr. Michael Ryan, who was joined by fellow board members Quinton “Q” Phillips andRoxanne Martinez. FWISDSuperintendent Kent P. Scribner andWestern Hills HS Principal Keri Flores previewed the tours for the eager audience.
Here is a video and photo gallery of the welcome ceremony and tours.
Dozens of guests inspected the shiny new facilities – and got a sneak peek at work underway for a new cafeteria and renovated auditorium as construction continues throughout the campus. The school, constructed in 1969, was 168,984 square feet before the bond project. When renovations are complete in August, the square footage will be 172,944.
