On Nov. 18, 2025, the School Board approved boundary adjustments “to provide for future development” that took effect with the 2026-27 school year and, the district says, do not affect any current students. They involve New River Elementary, Watergrass Elementary, Centennial Middle, Raymond B. Stewart Middle, Thomas E. Weightman Middle, Wesley Chapel High and Zephyrhills High. The maps are on the district’s rezoning page. New River’s change moved an area into the Watergrass Elementary zone.
