With the new school year in full swing, Spring ISD is moving forward at full speed, fueled by a vision for excellence and progress. This summer, the district made significant strides on its 2022 Bond projects from major construction updates to systems updates, work that reflects the district’s  continued focus on safe, modern, and functional learning environments for children.

“The transformative work completed this summer through Bond 2022 is more than just infrastructure, it is a promise to our students and our community,” said Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar. “Every new classroom, every updated space, and every safety upgrade reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence. This year, we step forward with purpose, showing exactly who we are: We are Spring—together in culture, together in accountability.” 

Board Vice President Natasha McDaniel emphasized both accountability and gratitude. 

“Every project we see taking shape—from new construction to critical safety upgrades—reflects our community’s unwavering investment in our students’ future”.” said McDaniel. “We take great pride in responsibly managing these resources and even greater pride in knowing that, together, we are creating schools where every child has the opportunity to thrive.”

Spring High School Construction on Schedule

At the new Spring High School site, crews advanced through essential early construction phases. The land was cleared and graded, with pavement work beginning across key access areas. These foundational steps are preparing the site for upcoming vertical construction.

Throughout the summer, design and construction teams remained in close collaboration with district leadership, aligning features with long-term enrollment trends, instructional programming, and future campus needs. The project remains on schedule, keeping Spring High School’s transformation moving steadily forward.

EPIC Center Foundations Underway

At the future EPIC facility , construction progressed through critical early phases. This summer alone, crews poured 5,890 cubic yards of concrete—nearly enough to fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools. Paving and layout work began for the facility’s foundation and parking areas.

District leaders coordinated with Harris County officials to ensure proper inspections and permitting. Plans were also developed to support traffic safety and stadium operations as the site continues to evolve.

Security and Safety Upgrades Across the District

Security upgrades moved forward across multiple campuses. Fencing improvements, new controlled entry vestibules, and teller-style windows were completed or are nearing completion at Booker Elementary, Hoyland Elementary, Spring Leadership Academy, and Thompson Elementary.

In total, the district is replacing or adding 18 miles of fencing which is long enough to walk continuously for more than six hours. Camera systems and server infrastructure were also upgraded at several locations, including Westfield High School, Bammel Elementary, and Meyer Elementary.

HVAC and Roofing Projects Support Campus Reliability

To improve building performance and air quality, the district replaced 42 chillers this summer. The new systems provide 7,570 tons of cooling capacity, which is equivalent to cooling 1,892 typical homes.

Roofing work continued at key sites, with 823,000 square feet reroofed—enough to cover the surface of NRG Stadium five times. Projects were completed or are in final stages at Dekaney High School, Claughton Middle School, Wells Middle School, and Momentum High School. 

Reynolds Elementary School Gets Flooring and Interior Upgrades

At Reynolds Elementary, summer improvements focused on flooring upgrades and refreshed interior finishes. Planning also continued for updates to the media center and science lab. Campus and district staff worked with architects to finalize layouts that support flexible instruction and technology integration. Work at Reynolds will continue into the fall semester with phased implementation.

Sheila Jackson Lee Center Begins Renovation with Pool House Demolition

At the Sheila Jackson Lee Family and Community Engagement Center, the project began with the demolition of the existing pool house, the first step in a comprehensive renovation effort. Future improvements include construction of a new pool house, pool upgrades, reworked parking areas and significant interior and exterior enhancements such as flooring renovations, painting, updated office spaces, and an enhanced security vestibule.

Each of these projects reflects specific goals from the 2022 Bond package, approved by voters to support safety, instructional quality, and long-term facility needs. With construction continuing into the fall, Spring ISD will remain focused on quality, accountability, and timely progress.
