[edit] Campus

Morton Ranch High School is a modified repeat design based on the award-winning Cinco Ranch High School plan. The major differences between Morton Ranch High School and Cinco Ranch High School are in the size of the science labs, the weight room, and the addition of a third gym at the east end of the building.

Specific detail changes requested by the end users have been incorporated to make a great plan even better. Also, the exterior of the building was changed to give it a different character. Morton Ranch also has a large library, located in the middle of the school. Morton Ranch High School includes a Performing Arts Center that was master-planned during the original construction. [1]

[edit] Additions

For the growth that outdid Katy Independent School District predictions, a new bond was passed. The bond included a new Ninth Grade Center for Morton Ranch High School, that will be completed by the 2008-2009 school year. Overcrowding will continue to be a major issue at Morton Ranch High School until the new 9th Grade Center is opened (adjacent to the school's performing arts center).

Originally, the 9th Grade Center at Morton Ranch High School was scheduled to be complete in time for the 2007-2008 school year, but a failed bond pushed the project back one year.
