Exploring Preservation Options for the Historic Fabens High School Building

Exploring Preservation Options for the Historic Fabens High School Building

The Fabens Independent School District Board of Trustees recognizes the historical and cultural significance of the 1925 Fabens High School building. While the building has not served as a high school for over 60 years, it has sustained significant fire damage, which presents challenges to its preservation.

The Board profoundly values the building’s place in our community’s history and has resolved to explore options that could restore and maintain the structure. However, FISD does not have the financial resources to undertake such a restoration independently.

To address these challenges, the Board has authorized the Superintendent to advertise the building for sale. This sale will be contingent upon the purchaser agreeing to restore and maintain the building in a way that preserves its historical character while providing a public and educational benefit to Fabens ISD students and the broader community.

This decision reflects the district’s commitment to balancing historic preservation with the safety and financial responsibilities of the community. The district will continue to engage with local stakeholders and potential partners to explore solutions that honor the legacy of the building while meeting the current and future needs of our students.

FISD appreciates the community’s support and input as we navigate this process and will provide updates as developments occur.
