Denton ISD is expanding once again. District officials unveiled renderings today for its fifth comprehensive high school, scheduled to open in Fall 2027 in the town of Cross Roads, TX, according to the district’s construction website, www.dentonisd.org/construction.
High School No. 5 will be located at Naylor Road and U.S. Highway 380. The 627,163-square-foot campus is expected to cost approximately $280 million and is slated for completion by July 1, 2027.
The new school—yet to be named—has not yet hired a principal or selected school colors and a mascot. Designed to accommodate Denton ISD’s growing student population in the Braswell/380 Corridor zone, the three-story campus will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and cutting-edge fine arts and athletic facilities.
The addition of a fifth comprehensive high school aims to address the rapid growth in the 380 Corridor area. Voters approved funding for the project as part of the May 2023 bond package.
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months. However, it remains unclear whether ongoing school funding challenges could impact the school’s scheduled opening.
