Dripping Springs ISD

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘👷🏗️

It's a busy summer for construction projects across DSISD!

🚧 Rooster Springs Elementary is undergoing significant improvements this summer, including HVAC replacement across much of the campus. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades as well as lighting enhancements and updated interior finishes are also being completed in a first-floor hallway, the gym, cafeteria, administration offices and front hallway.

🔨 At Dripping Springs High School, renovation work is underway with HVAC replacement throughout much of the campus and the widening of the connection between the D and J hallways to improve student flow. Several classrooms are also being renovated to better support science courses within the Career & Technical Education (CTE) program. In addition, portable classrooms are being installed behind the campus to accommodate growth and support renovation projects that will continue during the school year.

🏫 Driftwood Springs High School is beginning to take shape! It’s exciting to see progress on DSISD’s newest campus as construction continues, preparing for a fall 2028 opening.
