Willis ISD has finalized attendance boundaries for Homer C. Calfee Middle School, set to open in August 2025. The new school will accommodate up to 1,200 students and help alleviate overcrowding at existing middle schools.
The board of trustees for Willis ISD overwhelmingly ratified the attendance boundaries for the new Homer C. Calfee Middle School at its meeting on February 12. The institution, intended to accommodate 1,200 pupils, will alleviate congestion at Brabham and Lynn Lucas middle schools.
Calfee Middle School, the district's third middle school, is included in a $143 million bond approved in 2022. The school will open on August 12 at 7373 Longmire Road, Conroe, with Elementary School No. 7 scheduled for 2026.
In January, demographers provided WISD with revised enrollment forecasts and housing development statistics, underscoring the necessity for the new school. A town hall on January 25 enabled parents to articulate concerns regarding feeder patterns and transportation.
After the town hall, parents and community members were surveyed to determine an attendance boundary plan. Option A received 55% of the 1,398 votes, and Option B secured 44.9%. The district formally approved Option A.
With its newly established attendance zones, Calfee Middle School is prepared to welcome students in August to improve educational options and address the district's increasing population.
