A First Look at Kresston’s Future Magnolia ISD Elementary School
A First Look at Kresston’s Future Magnolia ISD Elementary School
The future of Kresston is taking shape — and now, we’re getting our first look at one of the most exciting additions planned for the community.
At its August 10 meeting, the Magnolia ISD Board of Trustees reviewed the initial designs for Elementary School #10, the new elementary school planned within Kresston. The newly unveiled renderings offer an early glimpse of the campus that is anticipated to welcome students in August 2028.
What Is Planned for Kresston’s Future Elementary School?
The early designs show a school created with more than classrooms in mind.
Planned features include:
- Classrooms with natural light
- Open spaces for students and teachers
- Areas for small-group instruction
- Spaces that support hands-on and project-based learning
- A central library designed as both an academic space and gathering place
- Additional collaboration areas throughout the campus
For Kresston, seeing these first renderings makes an important part of the community's long-term vision feel a little more real.
Where Will the New Magnolia ISD Elementary School Be Located?
Magnolia ISD's Elementary School #10 is planned along Kresston Parkway within the Kresston community and is being funded through the district's voter-approved 2026 bond program.
The approximately $54 million project is currently in the design and planning phase, with construction anticipated to begin in 2027 and the school projected to open in August 2028.
For future Kresston families, having an elementary school within the community could add another dimension to everyday life — with school activities, classmates and community connections all potentially happening closer to home.
Growing Alongside Magnolia ISD at Kresston
The new campus comes as Magnolia ISD continues to plan for enrollment growth throughout the district.
The 2026 Bond Package includes:
- Elementary School #10 in Kresston
- A second future elementary school
- A new high school
- Safety and security projects
- Improvements to existing campuses
- New school buses and future school sites
As Kresston grows alongside the surrounding area, the future school represents another important investment taking shape within the community.
Part of Kresston's Bigger Picture As a Master-planned community
From the beginning, Kresston has been envisioned as more than a collection of neighborhoods. Parks, trails, gathering spaces, amenities and opportunities for connection are all part of creating a master-planned community where everyday life can happen closer to home.
A future elementary school adds another important piece to that vision.
Today's new neighborhoods will become established streets. New community amenities will become favorite gathering places. Community events will become family traditions.
And in the years ahead, Kresston's landscape will include a new place dedicated to learning, growing and bringing people together.
When Will Kresston’s Elementary School Open?
With the first designs now unveiled, there will be plenty more to watch as Elementary School #10 moves from plans on paper to a new campus within Kresston.
The project is expected to move through construction-document development later this year, with Magnolia ISD currently anticipating construction from spring 2027 through summer 2028 and an August 2028 opening.
Kresston will continue sharing updates as the school progresses.
And for now, we're excited to share this first look at another piece of Kresston's future.
