Dripping Springs ISD\u2019<\/a>s second high school will be named Driftwood Springs High School following a 6-1 vote at a May 18 meeting.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to get it right,\u201d Board President Dr. Stefani Reinold said at the meeting. \u201cWe\u2019re very passionate … We are also managing a lot of people\u2019s opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n The overview<\/p>\n DSISD officials, employees, students and community members have been discussing the naming and branding of the new high school since February, when the district sent out a community survey.<\/p>\n A 64-person High School No. 2 Naming & Branding Committee met four times over the past few months to discuss options for the school\u2019s name, colors and mascot.<\/p>\n Some context<\/p>\n All of the existing DSISD schools are named after a spring within the district\u2019s boundaries.

However, board Vice President Mary Jane Hetrick said it was a district tradition and she \u201cfelt strongly\u201d it should be upheld.<\/p>\n What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n The Driftwood Springs High School mascot and colors will come back for further discussion at a later meeting.<\/p>\n Read the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n “><\/p>\n 2.
