The Wimberley Independent School District will now have two primary schools named for natural treasures.

Blue Hole Primary School was selected as the name for the new campus at Ranch Road 12 and Winters Mill Parkway on Monday. The district already has a primary school named for Jacob’s Well.

The vote, which was unanimous, came after an inclusive, two-months-long effort to gather potential names from students, parents and members of the larger community.

Ground was officially broken for the school, which will be the first One Water Campus in the state, in July. Plans are the 90,600-square-foot campus will open in the summer of next year, ahead of the 2020 fall semester. The $13.3 million bond project voters approved in May 2018 will have a capacity of 800 students in pre-K through second grade and will feature 40 classrooms, a gymnasium, library, cafeteria and also several smaller reading and math intervention classrooms.

The most unique feature of the campus, though, is its water usage. As a One Water Campus, it was constructed to utilize rainwater and HVAC condensate as well as treated wastewater, promoting a focus on conservation of natural resources, “green” stormwater infrastructure and open space preservation.

“We’re excited to get this project underway, and are really looking forward to that first day of school experience for all our younger students at this spacious, state-of-the-art green campus, in a little over a year from now,” Wimberley ISD Superintendent Dwain York said.

Trustees had received nearly 300 suggested names, with that of former principal Tucker Blythe featuring prominently. To honor him, the district named the new school’s gym Tuck Blythe Gym.

Blue Hole is a spring-fed swimming hole surrounded by 126 acres of natural forests and grasslands.

Jacob’s Well is an artisian spring. Together, the two attractions draw thousands of visitors to the Wimberley Valley each year.
