Harmony Public Schools is doubling down on its City Place presence in north Spring, planning a new combined middle and high school to join the network's newly opened elementary campus in time for the 2027-28 school year. The planned single-story addition is tailored around STEM instruction and performance space, and officials say the goal is to keep students from kindergarten through graduation on one connected site. Construction is slated to continue through the coming year, with students expected in classrooms by August 2027, as reported Community Impact.
According to Community Impact, Harmony plans to add nearly 80,000 square feet to the City Place campus, with the new building designed to serve roughly 850 middle- and high-school students. Project documents reviewed by the outlet describe a single-story academic building paired with a multi-purpose sports field, engineering and robotics labs, and a large cafeteria with a performance stage. The filing lists a planned construction start of April 15 and a scheduled finish by mid-August 2027.
Campus footprint and phased rollout
The elementary side of the campus opened to students in August and hosted a public grand opening on Nov. 13. The future middle and high school facility will sit on the same 28.9-acre site within the City Place master-planned community, creating a consolidated charter hub for the area.
Hello Woodlands has reported that Harmony is using a phased approach, gradually adding grade levels so the campus can scale up as enrollment demand grows. The school website for Harmony Science Academy - City Place underscores the campus focus on STEM and college preparation, and routes families to enrollment forms and campus updates.
Timeline and local impact
Developers and school officials indicate the project is moving from permitting into site work this year, with vertical construction expected to kick off in spring 2026 and classrooms ready for students in August 2027. The timing lines up with continued charter growth in the Spring-Klein area, as more families test out different public school options.
As Community Impact has detailed, rising transfers to charter and other public schools have tightened some traditional district budgets and pushed local leaders to rethink long-term plans for enrollment and facilities. The City Place expansion slots into that shifting landscape as one of the higher-profile new builds.
Families interested in the campus can find enrollment information and contact details on the school site at Harmony Science Academy - City Place. We will keep an eye on public filings, construction notices and school announcements as the project heads toward its planned August 2027 opening.
