KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Woodland Hills Elementary School on Tuesday.

Woodland Hills, located at 2400 Steele Road, is designed to support around 500–550 students.

According to KCKPS, Woodland Hills will feature:

• Technology-enhanced classrooms and modern learning spaces designed to support hands-on learning experiences.
• State-of-the-art career and technical education facilities equipped with industry-relevant resources.
• Enhanced campus security, including advanced monitoring systems and updated safety protocols.
