Breaking Ground for Our Third High School
Now, if you thought that was all, think again! Georgetown ISD is taking things to the next level by constructing its third high school in the lovely northwest area of our city, right near D.B. Wood and Cedar Breaks roads. Imagine a fresh building buzzing with energy and potential! Construction is slated to kick off in spring 2025 and will be ongoing for approximately 38 months.
