Dallas, Texas – Dallas Independent School District (DISD) has marked a milestone by breaking ground on their new elementary school, the Urban Park Steam Academy. With a budget of $34 million, this state-of-the-art institution is set to serve pre-K through fifth-grade students and provide space for up to 500 students.
A Dream Turned Reality
Principal Lisa Falcon expressed the dedication and commitment that went into making this project a reality. She mentioned that the idea of bringing the Urban Park Steam Academy to life had been in the works for over two years, and the groundbreaking event was a momentous occasion for all involved.
“This is going to be something that’s not just for us but for the community as well,” Falcon enthusiastically declared, highlighting the broader community impact the academy aims to achieve.
A Unique Educational Facility
What sets the Urban Park Steam Academy apart is its unique offering in the area. District officials and Principal Falcon have emphasized that there will be no other facility quite like it. This innovative school is poised to provide an exceptional educational experience to its students and contribute positively to the local community.
Making Way for the Future
As construction progresses on the new academy, plans are in place to demolish the old school once students and staff transition to the new premises. This transition represents a step towards embracing modern and more advanced educational facilities, ensuring that students have access to the best possible resources for their learning journey.
The Urban Park Steam Academy stands as a testament to DISD’s commitment to providing quality education and fostering community development, setting a promising path for the future of education in the Dallas area.
