The high school cafeteria does not have enough space for all students, leading to off-campus lunch for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Even with three grades leaving campus, freshmen still exceed available seating. The overcrowding also creates scheduling challenges across the campus.
Proposition A would double the cafeteria’s capacity to accommodate 500 students.

El Campo High School, with original construction from 1953, consists of 14 separate buildings that are not connected to each other. Students move between classes by walking outside, often exposed to rain and weather conditions.
More than half of the classrooms in the buildings slated for demolition are smaller than the state minimum and do not meet TEA standards.
