The last time San Augustine opened a new school was way back in the 1920s.  Never before have San Augustine school finances fallen into place like they are now.  When an offer for a federal interest free loan came along, Superintendent Walter Key said that it was almost a no brainer to build the new middle school for our community.  The brain work will be left up to the students as they're introduced to all kinds of new technology.  San Augustine Independent School District certainly isn't stopping with a new middle school.  Already on the drawing board are big plans for the athletic department.  San Augustine is looking to build a new football field, a track, which they have never had, a new field house, new home stands and if the voters approve it, a new band hall would be on the list.  Right now parents and faculty want students to realize how lucky they are to have a new school and plans for even more improvements.  In addition to the new middle school, San Augustine Elementary and High School opened following extensive renovations.  The former Lincoln Middle School will be turned into an administration building.
