Seguin ISD celebrates the start of construction of NEW McQueeney Elementary School Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The construction of the new McQueeney Elementary School is well on its way. Despite the official groundbreaking Friday morning, district officials say they are amazed by the huge progress already being made with the new second story school being built at 6625 FM 725. The new campus will sit just two miles northwest of the current school, on land purchased during the 2019 bond package.
The actual green light for the district to replace one of the district’s oldest campuses and begin the steps toward construction of the district’s first second story elementary school was granted by voters three years later in 2022. McQueeney administrators and teachers were among those on hand for the groundbreaking. Each was excited to be standing on the future campus site and seeing

their future classrooms come together. Assistant Principal Sharon Johnson says she feels fortunate to have been a part of the planning process with architects and is finally thrilled to see things moving. “It’s extremely important. Our population is just growing like crazy. We need more space, and we need the resources for our kids. We need the outdoor centers. We need the outdoor equipment, and we need
new equipment. We need new furniture so what that means to me is we are doing what we need to do,” said Johnson. “Our kids deserve this. Our teachers deserve this.” Veteran Kindergarten Teacher Adriana Moreno says while she has enjoyed her 15 plus years at the current McQueeney campus, she can’t wait to carry over that love into a new school.
