North Shore Senior High School, part of Galena Park ISD in Houston, Texas, recently broke ground on a new multi-use facility for student extracurriculars, according to a news release. The North Shore Multi-Use Facility will include dedicated practice and training space for the school’s athletics and fine arts programs and will be built as an addition to the current football field house.

Amenities will include an indoor, 120-yard practice football field; a strength and conditioning weight room accessible from the practice field; renovations to the existing fieldhouse; a new Champion’s Plaza; and a family activity plaza.

“It has been an honor to support the vision of Galena Park ISD on a project that reflects the strength and pride of the North Shore community,” said VLK Principal Monika Castillo. “This multi-use facility is designed to support student growth and performance —providing a multi-functional, year-round environment for both athletics and fine arts programs.”

The North Shore Senior High School football team won the UIL 6A Division I state championships in 2025, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2015, and 2003, according to the news release.
