This will be determined tomorrow. Hearing on social media that it will be Davenport HS. I’ll watch the New Braunfels Herald for confirmation though. So there it is, Garden Ridge Davenport. Nah, more like Comal Davenport. Gotta keep it simple. |

Gotta keep it simple. I’ve never agreed with the school district name before the school. I think it’s confusing and clunky. No one knows where Comal Canyon is at. But New Braunfels Canyon is more practical. I hope the UIL gets rid of that. |

I think city names are more confusing. Prosper Rock Hill will be located in Frisco. Calling it “Frisco Rock Hill” will just confuse people. Same thing with Frisco ISD HS 11, which will be located in McKinney. |

I understand what you are saying. But does it really matter to people whether or not New Braunfels and Canyon are in the same school district? IMO it’s more imperative that people know what area the school is in. After all, that’s the whole reason for prefixing the schools in the first place - to differentiate them. Unless you live in Northwest San Antonio, who’s going to know where Northside Marshall is at? There are several Marshall’s statewide and adding “Northside” to it doesn’t clarify anything. On the other hand, San Antonio Marshall makes it clear that this campus hails from the Alamo City. I think this even helps for schools that don’t have twins statewide. Ask someone in Houston where Northside Brandeis is at you will likely get a blank. On the other hand, San Antonio Brandeis makes that quite clear. It’s possible that some may think it’s in San Antonio ISD, but the whole reason this is an issue in the first place was since the UIL started “school district” prefixing instead of “city” prefixing. Maybe I’m just biased. As someone who has relatives that attend Canyon HS, I think someone is more likely to know that Canyon is in New Braunfels, than saying Comal Canyon, which doesn’t make clear if it’s Canyon HS in New Braunfels TX or Canyon TX, as a school district’s name doesn’t really make clear where the school is from. I’ve talked to people locally that haven’t liked the new “Comal” prefixing the UIL has started placing on our schools.

The state of Texas allowing districts to be “independent” of cities is the real culprit. |

This is a difficult situation in some cases. Both Wagner and Veterans Memorial are in the Judson ISD, but are listed as San Antonio schools. Neither are really not in San Antonio but in Bexar County. Same thing with East Central and the Southwest schools. East Central goes by San Antonio but is around St. Hedwig. Southwest has historically been known as Atascosa Southwest and now Legacy is known as Southwest Legacy. Marshall is actually in Leon Valley. But most everybody outside of the SA area wouldn't know that. Yes it is a convoluted problem. And the new Davenport is in Garden Ridge which is in Comal County not Bexar.

And then up north we have Northwest HS in Justin, Byron Nelson HS in Trophy Club, and Eaton HS in Haslet in Northwest ISD. DCTF refers to them with the city names first, but that just makes things more confusing. When speaking to someone, I may say “Justin Northwest” to give a reference of a location. For others I say “Northwest Nelson” and “Northwest Eaton”, and if someone is confused I’ll add that it’s over by “Justin Northwest”. Boom. That simple. |

Down here around Seguin we have a Navarro High School. It is inside Geronimo (a small village) city limits by a road. Seguin city limits is on the other side. It is sometimes listed as Seguin Navarro but generally known as Geronimo Navarro. Most of the growth in the district comes from all of the land annexed into the city of Seguin. Seguin HS would definitely be 6A if the district lines would be drawn differently.

New Braunfels ISD will have it’s second high school completed in the south side in 2021, but will serve as a 9th grade campus for a few years (although it will be named after the new high school while it’s still a 9th grade center). Look for a split to happen starting in 2023-2025 roughly (when New Braunfels HS reaches a 3,000 student enrollment). herald-zeitung.com/news/article_11653f22-7b58-11e9-8bc1-ab94db2bca0a.html |

The problem with Comal ISD is that it is too big covering five counties. Canyon Lake High is north of the lake near Fredericksburg and Wimberley. Davenport is just out of San Antonio off 35. The UIL doesn't want to split ISD's up so Davenport will probably have to play up north instead of with schools in the south like La Vernia and probably Gonzales, which would be natural rivals. When Comal ISD first formed, nobody probably ever dreamed that it would grow like it has grown. And the way it is growing, several more high schools might be built before total buildout.

When Comal ISD first formed, nobody probably ever dreamed that it would grow like it has grown. And the way it is growing, several more high schools might be built before total buildout. More than anything else, the main issue is how spread out the district is and the lack of infrastructure in place. And now, the lack of infrastructure combined with massive growth puts a strain on everything. I'm sure Canyon Lake HS was a relief to many when it was built. Could you imagine how long the commute would take if it was not there today? So yeah, Davenport and Canyon Lake will eventually be paired together, which will provide a nice rivalry in contrast to SVHS vs Canyon HS. I'm guessing HS #5 could eventually spark something up with SVHS, but then again, there might eventually be another new school in the area to compete against, or even another in the northeast quadrant to be a new main rival for Canyon. |
