MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas (KETK) — Chapel Hill ISD, located in Titus County, broke ground on Monday for their bond projects that passed in the May 2024 election. UPDATE: Chapel Hill ISD passes $9.3 million bond Last year, voters approved a $9.3 million package to improve several facilities on campus, including a new elementary gym and classrooms, an expanded agricultural mechanics building and enhanced safety features for the junior high. During Monday morning's ceremony, Board President Joey Lewis said, 'As we continue to modernize our campus, the project that we're starting today will be a pivotal piece for the kids that come through this school district in the future. As a parent of four children at this school, I see the importance of the new gymnasium and other projects going on at this school and I'm excited to a part of the change.' 'Through research, discussion and identifying district needs, a solid plan was developed allowing the district to address both immediate and future needs, while being fiscally responsible to our community and stakeholders.' Daniel Pritchett, superintendant of schools 'Chapel Hill ISD is here because of the dedication of its citizens. Many an individual fought to keep the doors of our district open. They saw the importance of education. As goes the school, so goes the community. Through the vision and perseverance of both our school board and community, we are planting the seed for a tree that many of us will never get to bask in its shade,' Pritchett said.
