Htowngirl Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 A few months back, I posted that I had heard rumors from my neighbor that this school was being bought by a private school. As of the past couple weeks, the "For Sale" sign has come down, and the school is seemingly being remodeled. There were workers in there over the weekend, and new fences and (young kids) playground equipment is being installed. Does anyone know what school this may become? Private? Public?

ricco67 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) As long as it's a school and the kids aren't wearing Ed Hardy shirts, it's nothing but good. Edited April 23, 2010 by ricco67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Will this result in any liquor stores being closed down? If not I'm ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heights_yankee Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 esperanza owns several properties on the blvd, including their main house next to Pappas which is on the historic register. all of these houses will be on the market as soon as their move to the roy street location is complete. their plan is to have the whole school moved by early fall, except their "discovery center" which is a commercial building on the south side.i am curious to see what happens to the buildings, esp the main house. the house has been carved up to meet the needs of a daycare but it also has a lot of the original details like the fireplaces, doors and many of the original windows.

Htowngirl Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 I heard from a neighbor this weekend that it is indeed going to be a private school, and they are renovating most of the school right now, but will rent out the un-reonvated part of the building to HISD offices during the renovations.

heights Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 While driving south on Heights Blvd the other day, I noticed that the school zone was only about 1/3 as long as it used to be. Then I noticed that the Esperanza school which had prompted the extension of the school zone to 1/2 mile long has apparently completed their move. The buildings are for sale now.

The buildings are for sale now.I was wondering what happened there. Don't know why i didn't think of Esperanza. Makes the drive to Harvard to drop off my son a little easier (I go down Heights to 7th to avoid the minor backup of turning left onto Harvard at 8th).
