Each year, the Birdville ISD Gifted and Talented Education program nominates students from the fourth grade for the opportunity to attend a summer camp, Lone Star Leadership Academy. Education in Action offers this camp in Action, a nonprofit organization that empowers young people to be informed and active community leaders. Our student nominees display strong leadership, collaboration skills, and academic excellence characteristics. Three students from BISD attended the 2024 summer academy during various weekly offerings. They are: Ian Gonzalez, Smithfield Elementary fifth-grader; Payton Calvin, Thomas Elementary fifth grader; and Parker Haussecker, Walker Creek Elementary fifth grader, all attended.

As we prepare for the beginning of the 2024-25 school year, Birdville ISD wants to share updates on several ongoing projects approved by voters in the November 2022 bond. Our first update deals with Shannon High School, recently renamed Bob E. Griggs High School, since it will be completed by the end of 2024.

With the passage of the bond election in November 2022, Birdville ISD purchased The Wisdom Center building at the corner of Denton Highway and Stanley Keller Road. The property was purchased using bond funds with the intent to renovate it for use as the new home of Shannon High School (SHS) which has served as BISD’s alternative high school for more than 30 years. SHS has been located in the old Haltom High School building on Carson Street which is now more than 75 years old.

Once renovations to the new property began, BISD’s board of trustees voted to rename Shannon High School after former superintendent, Dr. Bob E. Griggs. Upon completion of the renovations, the school will relocate to the new Bob E. Griggs High School facility, which will serve as the District’s alternative high school.

Also housed inside the old Shannon High School building are several programs for special needs students. These programs will be relocated to the south end of the new property. The Board voted to name this portion of the building the Linda Kunkel Specialized Learning Center. Linda Kunkel was a longtime educator within BISD and the first diagnostician at Shannon.

The Griggs and Kunkel complex is scheduled to open in January 2025, with the official ribbon cutting in December 2024.

The District will determine the future of the aging Shannon facility.
