An estimated 1,000 citizens attended the grand opening ceremony for Moe & Gene Johnson High Saturday, packing the main corridor of the three-story, $103 million, 413,500 square-foot building.

The Aug. 3 ceremony was filled with emotion from district leaders and descendants of Moe and Gene, two community members who dedicated their lives serving Hays County, largely credited for creating what is now Hays CISD. 

“We have assembled a first-class staff here at Johnson High School that truly values the importance of relationships and we are going to build relationships with each and every student that comes through those doors,” said Johnson High School Principal Brett Miksch.
