Benbrook Middle-High School
Benbrook Middle-High School (BMHS) is a combined middle and high school in Benbrook, Texas. It is within the Fort Worth Independent School District. It is southeast of Westpark Elementary School and situated in a 175,600-square-foot (16,310 m2) building on a 31-acre (13 ha) plot of land.[1]
History[]
It opened as Benbrook Middle School in August 2011; a 2007 bond paid for the $39 million facility. VLK Architects, Inc. served as the architect, AECOM was the program manager, and General Contractor Thomas S. Bryne was the builder. In 2014 the 9th-grade class began operation and the school became a mixed middle and high school; this was the result of a 2013 ballot measure within the FWISD bond.[1]
