CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Calallen High School celebrated a milestone last night with the groundbreaking of a new performing arts center.
The new facility will span more than 23,000 square feet and comes with a price tag of $24 million.
This project has been in development for a long time and officials say is well-deserved for the school's acclaimed music program.
The 130-member Calallen band is known for its complex and consistently challenging performance repertoires and has earned numerous awards throughout the years.
KRIS 6 spoke with the Calallen superintendent about the new center, which is expected to be completed in 2027.
"So we're very excited to have a place for them as well as our choir, our elementary school kids. It's just overall going to be an amazing space," said Emily Lorenz, Calallen ISD Superintendent.
