Dripping Springs ISD's second comprehensive high school will serve 2,500 students in grades 9-12 in the eastern portion of the district. The campus will be located off Darden Hill Road just east of Cypress Springs Elementary.

In addition to the approximately 506,000 square foot building, the campus will feature baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, two practice fields, a band practice lot, an agriculture barn and a sub-varsity competition stadium. The campus will NOT feature a competition stadium. The two high school campuses will share Tiger Stadium for varsity football games and graduation ceremonies.

If the May 2025 bond passes, the campus is expected to open in the fall of 2028. Discussion on the school's name, mascot, colors and the attendance rezoning process will occur during the 2027-28 school year.

The design for High School #2 was approved by voters in the May 2023 bond. In January 2024, DSISD and VLK Architects began design work for this campus by holding four community input meetings where attendees provided feedback on the future building, transition, traditions, and extra-curricular and student learning opportunities.

A community survey was also conducted in February 2024 where stakeholders were asked their views regarding certain aspects of the school including the design and feel of campus spaces, programming options and more.

In the spring of 2024, a Launch Design Committee was formed, which consisted of 60 students, parents, community members and DSISD staff, to take the community feedback and form a vision for High School #2.

Since the fall of 2024, a Project Advisory Team (PAT), a 24-member group comprised of students, parents, community members and staff have worked with VLK Architects and the DSISD administration to oversee progress on the design of High School #2.
