    September 2025 Bond Update

    Dear Bulldog Community,

    We are pleased to provide an update on the significant progress made in the design phase of the new Venus High School project. Over the past few months, our District Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) team, in collaboration with our architects from Huckabee, has conducted two meetings and visited various local schools to gather insights that will inform our design process. Our primary objective is to create a modern, safe, and high-quality learning environment for our students.

    Key Updates:

    1. Design Development Phase:  

    We have officially entered the Design Development phase. The proposed design will incorporate a classic architectural style, utilizing traditional materials such as brick and stone, along with a clearly defined front entrance. This design approach aims to create a timeless and welcoming atmosphere that fosters a sense of permanence and community, reflecting the rich history of our educational system. We believe this design will instill a sense of pride among our students and the broader community while integrating traditional aesthetics with the advanced learning environments required for today’s educational needs.

    2. Next Steps: 

    We will proceed with a second round of interviews with CMAR firms. The selected Construction Manager at Risk will oversee the construction of the project, ensuring that it meets our shared vision and expectations.

    We are committed to keeping you informed about our progress and appreciate your continued support throughout this project. 

    Thank you,

    Superintendent, 

    Howard Gatewood


About

In 2022, a group of special, dedicated community members embarked on a project to grow the horizon of Venus ISD. The diligent studies of a long-range facilities planning committee led to a multi-year roadmap for Venus ISD’s growth. A bond planning committee took over to study the feasibility of funding the growth plan, ultimately recommending a pause for a better financial environment… and that time has come!

With student growth and community development, our timeline for expanding VISD facilities is becoming more urgent. We are reconvening the Venus ISD Bond Planning Committee to consider funding the next stage of facility growth through bond funding.

We will host a short series of meetings to launch from the point where the 2022-2023 committee recommended a pause.

Meeting 1 – Review Past Plans and Current Situation

Wednesday, October 9 at Venus Elementary School

Meeting 2 – Discuss Possible Projects and Solutions

Wednesday, October 30 at Venus  Elementary  School

Meeting 3 – Prioritize Projects for a Board Recommendation

Wednesday, November 20 at Venus Elementary School

Meeting 4 – Plan Report to the Board

Wednesday, December 11, Venus Elementary School
