Highland
Park High School will rekindle old rivalries with several area high schools as
part of a realignment announced today by the University Interscholastic League
(UIL). The Scots will compete in District 15-5A beginning in the 2016-17 school
year.
HPHS was reclassified by the UIL
as a 5A school for the next two years based upon enrollment. While HPHS's
enrollment had risen to 2,116, the criteria for being classified as a 6A school
had risen even further to 2,150, which means that the school's academic,
athletic teams and fine arts programs will compete at the 5A level for the
2016-18 school years.
The UIL realigns districts to
balance the number of teams and to minimize travel. The following teams
will compete with HPHS in District 15-5A:
- Forney
- Lucas Lovejoy
- Mesquite Poteet
- North Forney
- Royse City
- West Mesquite
- Wylie East
Go Scots!
