ILTexas Liberty High School Construction Progresses in Colony Ridge
Construction is moving forward on the new International Leadership of Texas (ILTexas) Liberty High School campus in the Colony Ridge community, with completion scheduled for 2026. The campus, located at 1954 Road 5714, Cleveland, TX 77327, represents a major investment in education for Liberty County and reflects the continued growth of one of Texas's fastest-developing areas.
Situated beside ILTexas MSG Ramirez K-8, the new Liberty High School campus will provide a dedicated learning environment for the district's expanding high school program. Families in Colony Ridge and surrounding communities will gain access to a tuition-free public charter campus focused on leadership development, academic rigor, and multilingual education.
Construction Milestones Mark Steady Progress
Recent updates from the construction site show significant progress, including newly installed brick walls, visible wooden framing, and active crews working across the property. Equipment and building materials are in place as each phase of development brings the community closer to a high school designed for 21st-century learners.
The project remains on schedule for a 2026 opening, marking an important expansion of educational access in the Cleveland, Texas area.
Liberty High School Already Serving Students
Although construction continues, ILTexas Liberty High School is already operating, with students attending classes at the MSG Ramirez K-8 campus under the leadership of Principal Griselle Díaz Millet. The school remains focused on academics, leadership development, and character education as it prepares to move into its new facility.
ILTexas students benefit from the district's established educational model, which emphasizes:
- Servant Leadership Development
- Trilingual Language Instruction (English, Spanish, and Chinese)
- Holistic Skill-Building in mind, body, and character
- College and Career Readiness aligned with Texas academic standards
Once complete, the school will support thousands of families in Colony Ridge and surrounding Liberty County areas.
