Hallsville serves over 1,550 students, and enrollment is expected to continue rising as new housing developments are built in and around the community. Hallsville Primary School is currently at 92% capacity and is projected to exceed 100% by 2029, making additional classrooms essential.
With rising enrollment, parking on main campus is limited and provides challenges during school days, evening activities, and special events. Due to the campus layout and pipeline easement, options for expanding or relocating parking lots are restricted. To improve student safety and accessibility, the proposed parking expansion requires relocating the current baseball field and constructing a new baseball field incorporating a multipurpose field for marching band, middle school athletics, outdoor classroom space, and youth sports.
Our school district’s enrollment continues to grow. We have more students than Macon and Centralia, and projections show this trend will continue as new housing developments are built in and around Hallsville.
