Just over three years ago, one of the schools in the Amarillo, Texas area was becoming extremely over crowded and, to keep up their good education image in the community, the Panhandle Independent School District decided to build a new school to help relieve the population of the other and to do renovations on the other school to update it.  Now, over 650 students in the Panhandle ISD are using the much needed new school facilities a year ahead of time.

Students will no longer have to walk from their classrooms to the gym or library in the cold because of the new enclosed walkway.  And, they won't have to rush through lunch anymore because there are now two cafeterias to accommodate all the students.

All 110+ band students will no longer have to rub shoulders in the band hall.  They now have plenty of standing and storage room for themselves and all their instruments. 

The new facilities are huge, with a whole lot more room.

Scheduling for the school was due to be finished next year, but has finished ahead of schedule, after just 18 months of development.  Only a couple things remain to be completed, including a new high school gym and landscaping, which should be complete within the next month.

The new additions were approved by voters and paid for with $27.5 million in bonds.  The bonds also provided modern science labs, larger libraries, computers with high-tech screens, a connection bridge between the junior high and high school and a new 60,000-square-foot elementary school.

The new facilities are already a huge hit with students, parents, teachers and those looking to buy property in Amarillo, Texas.  It looks, like in times of need, the community of Amarillo really pulls together and comes through for its students.
