AUSTIN, Texas — Elgin ISD has broken ground on its fifth elementary school.
Trinity Ranch Elementary will be located off Grist Mill Lane and Upper Elgin River Road, just south of U.S. 290. Construction is now underway.
Funding for the school is coming from a bond voters approved in 2021 that included funds for two new elementary schools. It's expected to cost about $39 million to build.
“This is such an exciting moment for the Elgin community,” Elgin ISD Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jana Rueter said. “Every student deserves access to engaging and innovative learning experiences so they will have choice and opportunity for their future. Trinity Ranch Elementary will provide a safe and nurturing environment for students to learn and grow, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Future staff and students will benefit from the school's overall design, which reflects Elgin ISD's commitment to providing high-quality education for its students. We are excited to celebrate this investment in our community, and our children, and to see this new facility come to life.”
The new school, designed to accommodate approximately 800 students, will be built on the principles of “creating a caring space, a sense of community, collaboration at the center and a connection to the outdoors,” Elgin ISD said.
Trinity Ranch Elementary will open in August 2025.
