Cedar Hill ISD focuses on High Point Elementary and Waterford Oaks renovations

Cedar Hill ISD is making significant strides in its bond projects, with construction and design efforts well underway for multiple facilities. During a recent meeting on February 3, 2025, district officials provided updates on several key initiatives, including the High Point Elementary Fine Arts Academy and Waterford Oaks renovations.

The district is currently in the schematic design phase for the High Point project, which aims to enhance the school's facilities with a black box theater, music and art rooms, and updated technology. The project is expected to take approximately nine months, with a completion date set for July 2026 and a budget of $14.6 million. This investment reflects the district's commitment to improving educational resources and fostering a creative learning environment.

In addition to High Point, the Waterford Oaks Elementary renovations are also progressing, with the first schematic design meeting held recently. Safety and security upgrades are a priority, with plans for new cameras, access controls, and secure vestibules to enhance student safety across campuses.

On the technology front, Cedar Hill ISD is upgrading its core server infrastructure and expanding internet bandwidth from 5 gig to 15 gig, significantly improving connectivity for students and staff. The district has secured nearly $600,000 in federal funding to support these upgrades, which will include a district-wide wireless refresh and new network switches.

To keep the community informed, the district has revamped its bond project website, providing easy access to updates and progress reports for each campus. Monthly communications, including videos and handouts, will ensure that parents and community members are kept in the loop about ongoing developments.

As Cedar Hill ISD continues to invest in its facilities and technology, the district is poised to enhance the educational experience for its students, ensuring they have access to modern resources and safe learning environments.
