Allison Elementary School
As part of the 2022 Bond, Allison Elementary School has broken ground on a full modernization of the existing campus at its current location. The new building will feature flexible learning spaces to support a variety of learning styles, designed in partnership with the Allison community. Project design began in spring 2023 and the modernized campus is anticipated to open to students in spring 2026. The new building will be built on the same site, immediately to the east of the existing school. During construction, school activities will remain in the existing building.
