At lunchtime at Milby High School, many students head outside to the athletic field just to get out of the building for a few minutes.
“They inundate our backfield during lunch,” said the school principal Roy De la Garza. “There’s this tendency of wanting to be outside. So, I know that having improved outdoor spaces will be really good for our students.”
HISD is building new schools that will include courtyards and green spaces that serve as outdoor learning and common areas, providing students a place of comfort to study, perform or to simply unwind between classes.
