Bellville ISD aims to create school environments in which students thrive, and our community remains proud of our schools and our district. Through facilities naming we have the opportunity to honor individuals who have positively contributed to supporting the success of our students, our schools, our district, and our community.
With O'Bryant Intermediate moving to a new location in the existing BJHS building and with a new grade level alignment, BISD is accepting nominations for naming of the new school. To submit a nomination please see the resources linked below:
BISD is so grateful to our community for supporting the projects included in the November 2023 Bond Proposal. For a comprehensive overview of all of our efforts to continuously improve upon our facilities and conditions for learning, please see the information linked below:
The BJHS Design Team is comprised of 35 individuals representing various departments and programs from the campus and district level and inclusive of studnet and parent representatives.
The Design Team meets every other week. Their work so far has included an initial review of square footage allotments and site layout. Drafting multiple layout options and then working to select and refine the most desired layout for the building.
Next steps include finalizing the placement of the facility on the designated site and refining parking, traffic flow, and outdoor learning spaces.
The team will then transition into specialized teams designing the details for each area including fine arts, athletics, electives with ag and engineering, instructional spaces, special education spaces, administrative and nurse's spaces, detailed design for the media center/library, and kitchen and cafeteria.
Once detailed designs for each space are finalized the team will transition into the process of selecting interior finishes, fixtures, equipment and furniture.
Members of the BJHS Design Team including students, staff, and leaders visited three different districts who partnered with our architects for recent construction projects.
The team was able to see design components that we liked and are seeking to incorporate into our building and design components that don't necessarily fit the style and functionality of our vision for our new campus.
