Dallas ISD breaks ground on Seagoville Academy

Dallas ISD recently broke ground on the future Seagoville Academy, a pre-K through eighth-grade campus located in Seagoville. The project is funded through the district’s voter-approved Bond 2020 program. The new campus aims to allow students to remain in the same learning community from early childhood through middle school, providing continuity throughout their educational journey.

District officials state that this structure will result in fewer transitions, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of every child’s academic and social-emotional needs over time. Laura Garza, regional superintendent, highlighted these benefits in the announcement.

The campus design includes modern classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, advanced instructional technology, enhanced safety and security systems, and flexible environments intended to support innovative learning experiences. Angie Gaylord, chief academic officer, described the facility as a transformational learning environment built around innovation, student engagement, and future readiness.

“Every child deserves access to an exceptional education that prepares them for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom,” Gaylord said.

District leaders view the project as an investment in the future of one of Dallas ISD’s fastest-growing communities. Brent Alfred, chief of Construction Services, stated that the initiative is about building opportunity and creating hope for students.

Trustee Prisma Y. Garcia called Seagoville Academy a promise to families, noting that the project reflects the community’s continued belief in public education. She added that the district is building pathways for future teachers, doctors, engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

The facility will serve the Seagoville area, addressing the needs of a growing population within the district.
