The pride of Houston’s Third Ward has received a makeover. Students, faculty, and the community celebrated the grand opening of Jack Yates High School. KTRK reports that Houston ISD unveiled the new $65 million facility which includes a three-story academic wing with flexible core learning centers and a high-volume performance wing with an auditorium. The school also includes spaces for fine arts, JROTC, gymnasium and athletics, large dining commons with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a large library area. The school’s new library was rededicated to honor Hazel Hainsworth Young, a Yates teacher, and counselor who served for more than 80 years and was among the first teachers when the school opened in 1926.
