The fall of 2000 will see exciting changes at the high school, which hosts one of two high school magnet programs in Austin and a variety of career training programs.
Exciting renovations are underway throughout the physical plant.
The Library , already a pleasant and thriving academic center, is expanding in space, collections, and technology. Men's and women's athletic facilities are being sharply upgraded. Also, in the fall of 2000, many Austin students will be newly assigned to Johnston High School as the district redraws the boundaries for local campuses. Students will find that Johnston High School, under the leadership of newly appointed interim principal Darrel Baker, offers a wide range of opportunities. The Liberal Arts Academy magnet program attracts young people talented in reading, writing, and research into college preparatory graduation classes and unique electives offered exclusively at Johnston High School.
