Lebanon Trail High School

Lebanon Trail High School is a public high school located in Frisco, Texas (USA) that is part of the Frisco Independent School District. The school opened its doors in August 2016 for the 2016–2017 academic year.[1] The school is the district's ninth high school.[2] Upon opening, only freshman attended the school, unlike most other high schools in the district. This decision was made by the district in order to not move students from high schools multiple times, as other high schools had recently opened in the area less than 4 years prior.

Namesake

The school is named for Lebanon, a community which existed at the site about half a century before Frisco and was located near the Preston Trail.[2] An initial decision to name the school Lebanon High school caused controversy among parents and students alike, who felt that the school's name would be too reminiscent of the Middle Eastern country of the same name; the community was allegedly in favor of a more "American-themed name."[3]
