WFISD’s Two New High Schools, Opening Fall 2024

On November 3, 2020, Wichita Falls voters approved a $290 million bond, giving approval to build two new identical high schools. The bond will allow the District to replace high schools that are between 60 and 100 years old.

The two new high schools are projected to open in Fall 2024. One school, Wichita Falls Legacy High School, will be located on 180 acres in southwest Wichita Falls’ Legacy Park at Windthorst Road and Henry S. Grace Freeway, a site north of the Career Education Center. The second identical school, Wichita Falls Memorial High School, is slated for the 104 acres in southwest Wichita Falls at 6422 Seymour Highway.

These two new schools will replace the current three high schools that are currently in use: Rider, Wichita Falls and Hirschi.
