Robb Elementary, closed since the shooting, will be torn down. The new school, yet to be named, is scheduled to be open by fall 2024.
"This [tree] will be the anchor to hold up the school," said Diaz.
The committee worked alongside the Uvalde school district's Moving Forward Foundation, a nonprofit tasked with collecting funds for the construction of a new elementary campus in the school district. The committee – composed of educators, parents and other community members – was set up to provide input and bring differing perspectives to the design and needs of a new $60 million elementary school.
"It was very hard," Arias told ABC News. "I grew up going to school at Robb Elementary. I loved Robb. It was some of the best times of my life." The proposed school will comprise three buildings: the academic wing with a library, dining hall and gymnasium. The committee drew inspiration not only from native oak trees that can be found throughout multiple neighborhoods in Uvalde, but other elements of Uvalde's fabric including Texas sunsets, monarch butterflies that migrate through the city and honey production.
