Dallas ISD earns highest state recognition for school design excellence

Dallas ISD is joining the 2025–2026 Caudill Class, the highest honor awarded through the Exhibit of School Architecture program, for Career Institute North and Geneva Heights Elementary School, both of which were made possible through the district’s 2020 Bond Program.

With the addition of a contemporary wing, the campus can now accommodate up to 750 students from pre-K through fifth grade. The updated campus now includes naturally lit collaboration spaces, outdoor gardens, and flexible learning zones around a central courtyard, supporting a vibrant, student-centered environment that honors the school’s legacy in its historic neighborhood.

Projects selected for the Caudill Class were showcased at the 2026 Texas Association of School Administrators Midwinter Conference in San Antonio.
