We explored scenarios for a remodel or new construction at the Oak Cliff campus. However, it was not feasible to provide the needed facilities for our students at our current location and avoid a decade of ongoing construction. The new property provides more than 70 additional acres for us to build a quality school to serve our families. We are confident the new high school will provide top-quality service only 7.3 miles away.
