TASD Signs Contract to Build New Middle School

On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, Texarkana Arkansas School District Board of Directors held a special meeting to sign a contract to purchase 30 acres of land to build a new middle school facility.

The property is located between Jefferson Avenue and Crossroads Parkway, north of I-30, for a value of approximately $30,000 per acre and a tentative opening date for the year 2020. College Hill Middle School will transition into the Sixth Grade Center, while fourth-graders will remain on the elementary campus in lieu of moving up to the middle school.

The property owners, Wommack 6 Corporation, and Reynolds Realty Management are thrilled to be a part of the history of the school district and the growth of Texarkana, Arkansas.

Skylar Rogers, Sr. Vice President of Reynolds Realty Management Inc, said, “We believe the development of a new world-class TASD campus will be a catalyst for further development in a commercial corridor that has already seen $60M invested – from restaurants, hotels, the convention center, and Holiday Springs Water Park, of course.”

The new middle school will accommodate approximately 1,000 students, grades sixth through eighth.
