Laredo, Texas — According to state and local development sources, United Independent School District plans to invest $10,000,000.00 to build out 27,848 square feet of new space in Laredo. The company plans to occupy the new space at 4001 Avenida Los Presidentes in Laredo, on or about July 1, 2025. According to the company website The 2021-2022 school year marks the United Independent School Districts (UISD) 60th anniversary of providing educational excellence and dedication to student academic success. UISDs history can be traced back to the spring of 1961, when trustees from three common school districts in Webb County met for the purpose of consolidating into one district. The three common districts operating at that time were: Cactus located 28 miles north of Laredo on the Callaghan Ranch; Johnson located in south Laredo on the Zapata Highway; and Nye, originally located on the south end of Santa Maria Avenue. Two other county schools had already merged with Cactus Webb in 1945 and Prairie View in 1959. The 1961-1962 school year was the first for UISD, serving about 340 students from first through ninth grades. Uniteds Junior/Senior High School gained national attention in the fall of 1963 for its unique underground design. It was the first school in the nation to be designed in such a way that it could double as a community shelter in the event of an atomic war and served as a model for over 300 schools across the nation. The underground classrooms were more economical to heat and cool. Nationally acclaimed, the school received recognition from the Department of Defense.
