Lake Hazel Elementary Gets Major Upgrade | Boise News

Lake Hazel Elementary is getting a $26 million makeover—replacing its 50-year-old, leaky, oddly shaped building with a brand-new campus that can handle more than double the student population. Construction is already underway, with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by students and community members. Teachers, who’ve long battled Arctic-to-Sahara classroom temps and unreliable systems, are thrilled for the upgrade. The design mirrors the successful Independence Elementary model, funded by a statewide $1 billion education infrastructure bill. Set to open next school year, it’s a bittersweet milestone for families with deep roots—but everyone agrees: better facilities mean brighter futures for kids.
