After months of delays, CCISD has finally broken ground on their new middle school near Yorktown Blvd. and Starry Rd.
“It is scheduled to open in August of 2025. It is another one of our new middle schools. It is going to be beautiful, and we have noticed all the growth coming out this way,” said CCISD superintendent Roland Hernandez.
For now, CCISD is calling this the Southeast Middle School.
Superintendent Hernandez says this new school will relieve the crowding of existing schools and help families moving out this way be closer to their campus.
“A couple years ago we had to start rezoning students out of Kaffie into another middle school just to give them space,” said Hernandez.
But with construction comes traffic congestion.
District 5 council member Gil Hernandez says once the expansion of Yorktown Blvd. going towards the mud bridge begins, this may be an issue.
“Soon we will probably have an accurate time frame as to how long it is going to take but somewhere between 18 months and 2 years. So, it will overlap it will not be perfect,” Councilman Hernandez said.
