Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the newest addition to its campus, a Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility. The new building is part of a larger CTE expansion project for the school included in a 2023, $170-million bond program. The new facility itself will cost about $63.6 million and has an estimated completion date of July 2027, according to a news release.

The new addition will provide space for the district to “align and grow” the school’s CTE program, providing students with the skills and resources they need for higher education and workforce preparation, the news release reports.

“This project represents a significant investment in the future of Duncanville students,” said LAN’s vice president and business group director, JP Grom. “We are honored to partner with Duncanville ISD in delivering a facility that supports career pathways and creates new learning opportunities.”

The news release reports that Duncanville High School is the second-largest high-school campus in the U.S. Other renovations included in the bond program include architectural upgrades, roof and HVAC unit replacements, ADA compliance updates, and exterior upgrades.

The Duncanville Independent School District partnered with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam (LAN) as program manager for the bond program.
