District Realignment Announcement

Every two years on February 2nd, Texas school classifications (5A, 4A, 3A etc) are recalculated based on student population thresholds and district teams are realigned accordingly.

Based on projected numbers, in all likelihood, Leander will be heading to 4A for the next couple years. It is also possible that all LISD schools will be in the same District, making for exciting competition between old teammates from youth and middle school football.
