Fort Worth ISD officially opened the I.M. Terrell Academy for STEM and VPA in August. The campus beautifully blends the historic Terrell school, originally opened as the city’s first black campus in 1882, with a new state-of-the-art science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and visual and performing arts (VPA) academy. The newly constructed portion of campus is a 65,000-square-foot, two-story facility, including the performance hall.
Voters approved construction of an academy for VPA and STEM in the 2013 Fort Worth ISD bond election. In August, the school welcomed approximately 160 ninth-graders. The school will add additional grade levels annually. At capacity, I.M. Terrell Academy for STEM and VPA will serve 800 students.
