August 28, 2024 (Crosby, TX) - There is more progress to report about the expansion of Crosby High School. Concrete has been poured to create the pier and beam structure that will support the new academic wing. The underground water detention that was installed in the northwest corner of the CHS campus is also nearing completion.

August 6, 2024 - Update 

August 6, 2024 (Crosby, TX) - Crews are preparing to drill the pier and beam foundation for the new academic wing at CHS. When this project is completed in fall 2025, classroom space will increase by 50%. 

As we approach the new school year, please note there are 3 construction zones at CHS.
 
  1. New academic wing (south side of CHS)
  2. Expanded CTE center (south side of CHS)
  3. Underground water detention (northwest corner of campus along Red Summit Drive)
 
The underground water detention is part of the overall expansion project. Crews are moving tons of earth each day, but there should not be major impacts to the traffic flow. We ask for grace and patience during the process.

March 7, 2024 (Crosby, TX) - Today, Superintendent Patterson and members of the Operations and Finance teams went over the final floor plan review for the expansion of Crosby High School.

Program Manager representative, Robert Arcement with Lockwood, Andrews, and Newnam, reviewed the changes made to schematic drawings. The new academic wing will feature two floors, each with 16 classrooms and 4 labs, for a total of 32 classrooms and 8 labs. The CTE section of Crosby High School will also be expanded to the south side of Crosby High School.

The review process during the last few months was able to add 4 classrooms to the original plans, by reducing unnecessary collaborative and flex spaces. 4 additional classrooms is room for approximately 100 additional students. In total, the CHS expansion will provide room for 900 additional students.

The CHS expansion project will go out for construction bids in the next few weeks, followed by final approval by the Board of Trustees. Construction is expected to begin in June with completion in November 2025.
