New Campus Facilities

Beginning with the 2026–2027 academic year, Stillwater High School opens the doors to a brand-new, 188,000-square-foot facility. Funded by a community-backed $195 million bond issue, this state-of-the-art, two-story campus features completely modernized learning spaces, advanced science labs, specialized visual and performing arts rooms, and an ICC-500-rated storm shelter for maximum student safety.
