Aubrey ISD holds a beam signing ceremony at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, at the construction site of Marilyn Hampton Elementary School, 5010 FM 2931.

The City of Aubrey posted a notice that members of the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, Municipal Development District and other city boards may attend in numbers large enough to form a quorum. No city business will be conducted there, the notice says.

It does not say whether the ceremony is open to the public, and the district had not posted details on its website as of early Tuesday.

The campus

State construction records list the project as a two-story, roughly 95,000-square-foot school built for 835 students. The filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation gives a start date of March 6, 2026, a completion date of July 1, 2027, and an estimated cost of $41 million. Corgan, a Dallas firm, is the designer.

Trustees set a guaranteed maximum price of $42,394,710 for the building at their March 18 meeting, the Pilot Point Post-Signal reported at the time.

Until last month the campus was known as Elementary School No. 5. Trustees named it on Oct. 21 for Marilyn Hampton, a custodian who retired after 39 years with the district, and the school is scheduled to open next August, WFAA reported.
