Dripping Springs ISD is seeking community input on the name of the district’s sixth elementary school, which is scheduled to open for the 2025-26 school year.
A community survey is now available through Friday, October 11 for stakeholders to share their suggestions for the name of the school. The results of the survey will be used by the Elementary #6 Name Recommendation Committee to prepare its recommendation for the DSISD Board of Trustees to consider at its January 27, 2025 meeting.
Currently, all eight DSISD schools are named after existing natural springs in the area. Board policy states that 1) District facilities may be named for local residential areas, local geographic features, or local, state, or national landmarks; and 2) District facilities shall not be named for persons, living or deceased.
Elementary #6 is under construction off Mira Vista Drive in the Headwaters neighborhood. The campus will accommodate 850 students in grades PK-5 and relieve overcrowding at Dripping Springs Elementary and Walnut Springs Elementary. Attendance zoning is underway and is expected to be approved at the December 16, 2024 board meeting.
