I graduated high school in 1991. In various seasons from my 7th to 12th grade years, we were in districts with Coppell, Anna, Farmersville, Celina, Pilot Point, Van Alstyne, and Caddo Mills, among others. Prosper was still 1A back then. Melissa was so far down the pecking order that I'd almost forgotten that it was even a city.

Prosper ISD has four bond issues for $2.8 billion, including a new football stadium for $84 million. The biggest issue for over $2 billion is to build 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, complete the 4th high school, and build a 5th.

The 3rd high school opened this fall, the 4th broke ground in August and will be completed in two years.

Here are pictures of the indoor practice facility and "gym" at the third high school.

For a high school that "gym" is just mind-boggling.

That's a nicer gym than at a least a third of D1 schools.

Government waste at its finest. My kids attend one of the nicest schools in the state, and we have nothing like any of the fields/buildings/cafeteria/etc in those pictures. If I was a Prosper resident, I'd be questioning why they needed to spend so much on that last bond, and I'd be working to vote the current school board out.
