Granbury High School

GRANBURY ISD

Huckabee teamed with district staff, students, parents and community members to redefine instructional delivery in the district through the transformation of Granbury High School. The team explored emerging educational philosophies and technologies and how the building could support them. The transformation of GHS is designed around the student, providing spaces that are interesting, engaging and safe. The design promotes and supports collaboration for both students and teachers, featuring breakout rooms, collaboration spaces, flexible furniture, a student union and a “learning stair” in the library. For teachers, centralized planning rooms throughout the facility promote teaming and cross-curricular planning.
