PORTLAND, Texas \u2014 On Saturday, Gregory-Portland ISD plans to welcome students and faculty to the new George W. Harris Field House and all-purpose facility<\/a> after three years of voting and construction.<\/p>\n

The project is part of the $176 million school bond proposition approved by voters in May 2023. The district officially broke ground on the project that November.<\/a><\/p>\n

G-P ISD prepares to welcome students to new all-purpose facility<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not one like this,\u201d G-P Athletic Director Brent Davis told KRIS 6 News. \u201cThere\u2019s not gonna be one like it anywhere as far as high schools go, and we built it with that in mind. We built it for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The facility includes a 120-yard turf field with a regulation soccer field, a 9,000-square-foot weight room, an observation deck overlooking Ray Akins Stadium, other spaces dedicated to each sport offered by the district and much more.<\/p>\n

However, the facility will serve not only student-athletes but the entire student body.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have students who have different goals in life and different expectations,\u201d G-P High School Principal Liz Schubert explained. \u201cThings that they want to do above and beyond high school, and this facility is going to be able to meet those needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
