From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Chaparral High School

Chaparral High School in Killeen, Texas, marks a significant milestone as the district’s first new comprehensive high school in 22 years. This facility elevates traditional school design by integrating natural materials and ample daylight to create a welcoming, adaptive environment. The heart of the school is a central hub that maximizes student engagement and serves as a dynamic community space for events and gatherings. Organized around a central media center, commons, and outdoor courtyards, the two-story building promotes connectivity, collaboration, and wellness.
