Waxahachie $32M Life School underway

WAXAHACHIE, ELLIS COUNTY – Work has begun on a 125,000-sf campus for Life School, a local charter school with over 4,500 students on six campuses. The $32 million school is scheduled to open in August 2015.

The new facility, located at 170 Butcher Rd., is the charter school district’s seventh campus, joining campuses in Cedar Hill, West Dallas, Lancaster, Oak Cliff, Waxahachie and Red Oak.

The new campus will house approximately 1,000 9th to 12th graders. It will include science labs, computer labs, an audiovisual lab, extracurricular activities and athletic practice fields.

In addition, Life School is positioning itself to be the first charter school in Texas to access the Permanent School Fund, which in the past was reserved for Independent School Districts.
