Needville ISD
2023 Bond
Needville Junior High Campus
At their June 19, 2024, regular meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) from Drymalla Construction for the new junior high school campus. Bid coverage was exceptional and the GMP brought the project in under budget.
The campus has been built for an initial enrollment of 1,000 students with core spaces (cafeteria, administration, library, etc.) to support a build-out to 1,500 students.
The project is complete. A ribbon-cutting was held on July 30, 2026, for staff, community members, parents and students to tour the facility.
