Haygood Elementary will be built in Cross Creek West and scheduled to open in August 2025. In addition, Lamar CISD purchased 100 acres in Cross Creek West for two new campuses. This new complex is scheduled to open in August 2027.
McNeill Elementary
McNeill Elementary School was constructed in 2008, 100 years after the birth of its namesake: decorated WWII Veteran and long-serving Lamar CISD Elementary School Principal H.F. McNeill. Since then, the McNeill Merlins have soared to great heights, achieving test scores that are far above the state average, according to Great Schools. Much of this can be attributed to the campus consistently providing students with a diverse array of programs, learning spaces and character-building activities.
