Built in 1936, Stephen F. Austin High School is one of the first educational facilities in the Houston Independent School District (HISD). After more than 80 years of service, HISD and the East End community embarked on a multi-phased project to preserve the school’s original historic façade and to create a new, expanded environment for learning in the 21st century. Supporting the school’s improved performance, sustainability and aesthetic goals, AECO Interior Contractors installed more than 250,000 square feet of Rockfon’s ceiling systems throughout Stephen F. Austin High School.
