As you have likely noticed, multiple construction projects and maintenance upgrades are happening across the district this summer. As of today, the ongoing capital projects represent an investment of nearly $100M for our community. They signify the district’s positive growth and commitment to providing our students and staff with the best possible environments to work and learn.
The new high school academic building - scheduled for a January 2025 opening - is evidence of our commitment to providing modern and well-resourced learning spaces for our students. Over the summer, most of the work is moving to the inside of the building as we complete the exterior features and begin the final phase of the civil work. This work includes a new parking lot west of Riverview, a new bus loop, extensive landscaping, the creation of outdoor learning spaces, and restored student parking east of the stadium. It will be a fantastic facility for our students and teachers, and we’re so grateful for your support of this transformative project for BPS.
As I often say at public events, we are “building an extraordinary future together.” Your support and investment in our district's vision for students is deeply appreciated. As more families move into our wonderful community, we want them to be proud of the excellent schools and facilities we have built for the children of Bixby. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Just north of the stadium, the renovation of the Home of the Spartans (HOTS) athletic building is continuing, with a projected completion in September. The new BPS Administration and Enrollment Center is a little farther north and should be ready for us to occupy in October. On Mingo, just east of our existing transportation facility, our new maintenance warehouse should be completed by August. A new East Intermediate gymnasium will be open for students by early October; about the same time we break ground on a new gym and dance facility on the Ninth Grade campus.
