Combo groundbreaking for 2nd wave of Projects
For the second time in eight days, Corsicana ISD and the community assembled for a magical groundbreaking. This time, dirt flew twice.
The District officially broke ground Friday on construction of two projects nestled between FM 744, 45th Street (FM 2555), and Drane Road: the 800-student Early Childhood Center, and a modern Transportation facility.
“Last week we put shovels in the ground for our ag students. Today we keep that promise going,” said Stephanie Howell, Superintendent of Corsicana ISD. “These two projects may seem like an unusual pair, but they share a common purpose. They are where many of our students’ school days begin.”

Corsicana ISD breaks ground on 2025 Bond Ag building
Just days before the general election and 360 days since voters in Corsicana passed a $205 million dollar bond for new Corsicana ISD construction and renovation projects, the first official groundbreaking started with a bang. Even drops of rain on the new construction site could not dampen spirits. The new state-of-the-art Corsicana High School Agricultural Facility officially kicked off construction Friday morning as Corsicana ISD administration, board of trustees, members of the ag program, and other district personnel were on hand. They were joined by crews from WRA Architects, BWC Education, and Friends Consulting, all firms that have contributed to making this day a reality. “Last November, the voters of Corsicana came together and approved a $205 million investment in our students,” Superintendent Stephanie Howell said. “Today, we start turning that promise into something real, and it is fitting that we start right here, in the dirt.” Click here to read the full story on the groundbreaking!

CTE wing construction at Corsicana High School starts taking shape
Demolition of the north hallways at Corsicana High School recently began as the first visible phase of Corsicana ISD’s 2025 Bond comes into view.
