Starting in 2008 HTK has been a part of De Soto’s last two bond issues totaling more than $175,000,000.

Due to increases in enrollment, more classroom space was needed in their High School to comply with the Standard Facility Guidelines for the School District. We started with a building addition for arts, journalism, speech, drama, band, and computer lab, and an addition connecting an academic wing to the cafeteria. Renovations included a building addition for a 2000-seat main competition gymnasium, wrestling room, weight room, cardio room, activity (multipurpose) room, fine arts flex room for drama, teachers work room, and training room and building events entry with a ticket booth and concession stand, two stories of classrooms, a library media center, administration services Center, and a career and counseling center were also added.

Most recently, HTK is in the process of implementing an $85 million bond issue passed in 2018. The projects are broken up into three phases. Phase 1 which is currently entering construction includes a 2,700-seat competition gym addition, a 750-seat performance theater addition, and a new field house/concessions facility at Mill Valley High School. Associated interior renovations include a new weight/wrestling facility as well as locker rooms and other learning spaces. Phase 2 is currently in design and consists of a new career and technical education / early childhood center at the Mill Creek Middle School site. Also included are a new restroom/concession facility as well as a district warehouse facility. Phase 3 will include a new 750-seat performance theater addition at De Soto High School as well as other athletic field upgrades.
