The ceremony was held at the new school Sept. 5 and included remarks from district officials. The school, located at 10301 Walnut Hill Lane in Dallas, is RISD’s first purpose-built middle school. What you need to know Students walked in Aug. 13, RISD’s first day of school. The campus is part of a larger shift to a middle school model within RISD that will group sixth- through eighth-grade students in the same building. What’s next? District officials plan to transition RISD’s remaining junior high schools to middle schools.
