Alamo Heights ISD voters overwhelmingly approved three bond propositions in May 2023. Bond 2023 will provide updated learning spaces at all campuses, continue to address safety and security, and allow the district to be better community partners with additional parking, improved traffic flow, and outdoor and meeting spaces for community use.

The work will be divided into three project packages. Planning for Package One began in summer/fall 2023. AHISD is committed to sharing regular updates about the design, planning, and construction phases during this exciting time for the district.

The new high school schematic design was shared at the January 2024 Board Meeting. Construction at AHHS is expected to last from May 2024 until August 2026.



Package One also includes the relocation of the Excel Academy and Connects program to the current AHISD Central Office and the construction of a new Central Office/Learning Center for our school community.

May 2025 

Another month in the transformation of AHISD!

At the AHHS Academic Building, steel erection continues moving toward the South wing. In the North and Central wings, crews framed walls on the first and second floors and began decking for the roof on the third floor. Next month marks one year of construction!

Over at the Visitors Bleacher Complex, the new North and South buildings are taking shape. Bleachers are ordered and will be delivered later this summer.

At the AHISD Athletic Complex at Robbins, crews are digging for electrical and plumbing for the locker room building.

At the May Board Meeting, Trustees approved Bartlett Cocke as CMAR General Contractor for Project 3 which includes construction at Howard Early Childhood Center and Alamo Heights Junior School. They also approved R.L. Rhode Contracting as contractor for a baseball construction project that includes bleacher and restroom renovations.

With the end of the school year, teachers at Cambridge and Woodridge packed up the classrooms that will be refreshed over the summer. Crews began working the Monday after school let out for the summer.

April 2025 

Construction is officially underway at the AHISD Athletic Complex at Robbins! Tree clearing and site grading has begun for the first project, a new softball field, located behind the tennis courts and natatorium.

Over at the Visitors Bleacher Complex, foundation has been poured for both structures - meeting/concession building and visitors locker room- and block walls are starting to go up. Next we’ll see piers drilled for the bleachers.

Steel work continues at the high school, with the Main Wing just about finished.

At the April Board Meeting, Trustees approved the GMP for work at Cambridge and Woodridge that begins this summer.

At the April Bond Council Meeting, members took a field trip that included a bus trip inside the construction fences at AHHS for an up close look at progress.

Also in April, Cambridge Principal Jana Hawkins shared construction logistics with the Bond Council and campus community.

Design work also continued this month for the new Howard Building with design team members touring area facilities and speaking with other early childhood centers across the state to gather ideas.

March 2025 

We continue to see incredible progress as the steel is erected for the new building! The steel work is moving from the “North Wing” to the “Main Wing” of the structure. Foundation is also being poured for the 2nd and 3rd floors of the North Wing side.

Over at the Visitor’s Bleacher Complex, the work remains low to the ground with pipes and electrical work, in anticipation of foundation pours for the new locker room in the coming weeks.

At the March Board Meeting, Trustees approved the GMP for 2 portables (4 classrooms) at Cambridge. Approval for the main work at Cambridge and Woodridge will be presented to the Board in April.

Next month, the first project at the AHISD Athletic Complex at Robbins will begin as permits were finalized and secured this month.

The first design meeting for the new Howard building also took place at the end of March with school staff meeting with architects from LPA to start the process.
