It is such a joy to serve the Dripping Springs community; I am constantly inspired by the heart and dedication of the people who call this place home. Because our community is so deeply invested, I want to take a moment to address the buzz surrounding the naming and branding of High School #2.
I love seeing the passion behind this! That excitement is a testament to the legacy of DSISD. As we celebrated our district’s 150th anniversary last night, it was a beautiful reminder that for nearly 90 of those years, our traditions and colors have remained a rare constant. This second high school is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to honor that history while thoughtfully shaping our future.
To be very clear: no decision has been made. While there are websites and graphics circulating, the Board has not made a determination, nor have we even received a formal recommendation. This process is just beginning, and any concepts currently online are strictly preliminary.
I want to specifically thank the many parents, students, staff, and community members who have invested significant time and energy into the committee process. This work has required countless hours outside of work and family responsibilities, and we are so grateful for your commitment to our district’s future.
My fellow trustees and I are dedicated to getting this right. We will take the time to listen to your feedback and host focus groups to ensure we create an identity that every student, family, and graduate can be proud of.
Please stay tuned—your voice matters, and there are many more conversations to come!
(This is my own words and not on behalf of the board or district)
