Prosper Walnut Grove HS opening in 2024 --------------------- Wichita Falls Memorial HS opening 2024 (westside of town) Wichita Falls Legacy HS opening 2024 (eastside of town) both will have a capacity of 1900 students. No more Hirschi, Rider or Old High. Rider and Hirschi live on as middle schools. Old High gets screwed. And Coyotes gets dropped. There was a late push to have Legacy's mascot be the Coyotes, but it failed. Also, the school board would rather rename Memorial Stadium in order to name the west school Memorial. They could've just named the school Heritage, which I think sounds better anyway. Legacy High, Heritage High, and Memorial Stadium (or Veterans Memorial Stadium, as there is a push to honor the vets). Legacy Legends & Heritage Heroes and call it a day (since they want to be generic!). 3 schools to 2 - Will both Memorial and Legacy start with 4 grades and at 5A-? ?

Yes they should each have around 1800 kids, and they’ll start with all 4 grades.

It's like Texas schools have no imagination. So many similar named schools and mascots. Think of something different, people! Cancel Culture

The New Braunfels ISD voted tonight on the mascot for the upcoming Long Creek HS in 2024. The mascot will be the Dragons. Color selection is still to come.
I’m not crazy about this choice; they will forever live in the shadow of the Southlake Carroll Dragons. Plus, there is also San Antonio Southwest, Nacogdoches and Round Rock Dragons. But considering one of the top choices was the very generic Lions, then fine. It is what it is. I underestimated the lack or originality within the community. Some people floated around Narwhals, Griffins, Pegasus or Minotaurs. Wish they would’ve gotten more traction.

This is no way a slight to our wonderful Veterans But good thing they didn’t name the new school New Braunfels Veterans Memorial High School.

Glad it didn’t make it to final round of voting.

Updated list to add Northwest HS #4, which would be funded by the passage of the May 2023 bond. Would open in 2026 or 2027.

But Griffins or Minotaurs would have been pretty bad@** on the sides of helmets or on a midfield logo! Dragons are not terrible, but I agree I think Southwest or SLC when I here that name.

Hutto's decision to have every new school be named the Hippos is ridiculous. Sorry. It just is.

Princeton HS will be on the move this fall.
PISD is moving toward a HS-Senior HS model. Looks like the senior high schools will hold 1800 and the high schools will hold 1800-2000, so a combined 3600-3800 HS students per feeder. Not sure how many will be built, but #2 will open in 2029 if the bond passes.

7 more high schools were approved last Saturday! Liberty Hill as well, but that one was already approved and they didn't get enough money the first time.
