Overview
- School leaders cleared an impacted section of South Hi Mount Elementary and relocated students and staff as a precaution after an onsite engineering assessment identified concerns.
- The entire school is scheduled to move into the vacant Western Hills Primary building at 8300 Mojave Trail on Dec. 1 so classes can continue there.
- Fort Worth ISD added two student holidays in late November to give staff time to pack and set up classrooms at the temporary site before students return on Dec. 1.
- Principal Elizabeth Foreman White notified families by email and will hold a parent meeting Monday at 5:30 p.m. to answer questions about the move and next steps.
- The move highlights recurring facility strains in the district given South Hi Mount’s 1936 main building and follows an earlier relocation this fall after heavy rains damaged Meacham Middle School.
