2020 Bond Updates

On November 3, 2020, registered voters in the Frenship District approved a $299.7 million bond to accommodate Frenship’s growth. More than 90% of the $299.7 million bond was dedicated to building additional schools and renovating existing facilities to accommodate the 2-5% student enrollment growth each year.

2020 BOND PROJECTS

To help with student enrollment growth and overcrowding across Frenship campuses, Frenship opened three new schools with the 2020 Bond:
  • Alcove Trails Middle School, Frenship’s 4th middle school, opened in August 2023
  • Ridgewood Elementary School, Frenship’s ninth elementary, opened in August 2024

Repurposing Ninth Grade Center to Frenship Middle School - Complete

Exterior photo of the new Frenship Middle School buildingWith the opening of Frenship Memorial High School, the Ninth Grade Center campus was no longer needed to house ninth grade students and was repurposed to serve as the new Frenship Middle School campus beginning the 2025-2026 school year. Previously, Frenship Middle School was housed in the first and original Frenship high school built in 1935.

 

As part of the 2020 Bond projects, additions were added to the Ninth Grade Center campus to make it a stand-alone middle school with facilities that are equitable to other Frenship middle schools. Those additions included a fine arts wing with band and choir halls and athletic facilities such as a practice field and game day field designated specifically for the middle school. 

 

What will happen to the old FMS building when the campus moves? 

As we see student enrollment steadily climbing, the number of staff members is also increasing. With FMS now in its new home at 407 N. Dowden Road in Wolfforth, the old FMS building, located at 500 Main Street in Wolfforth, will be converted to the Frenship Professional Learner Center. Renovations for this building are part of the 2024 Bond projects. This includes: 

    • Aspire Learning Academy (formerly Reese Education Center) will move to the Professional Learning Center starting the 2026-2027 school year
    • Renovated event center to host district and campus events
    • Renovated professional learning and training spaces
