TEMPLE, Texas — Temple ISD shared new progress photos of Sampson-Howard Elementary School on Wednesday, June 28.

The school district says steel work is underway, marking another milestone in its construction. 

This will be the first brand new school to open for the district in over 25 years and it's set to bring in its first students in the fall of 2024.  

Past educators played a huge part in making this school possible, so much that the school is being named after Cornelius Carl Sampson, who taught and coached in the area way back in the 1920s. The other half of the name stems from Durward and Jean Howard, who both taught in the school district in the 1940s.  

Temple ISD thanks the community for its support of the Bond 2022 package that allowed the funding for this school and much more to happen.
