Lebanon Trail High School is a public high school located in Frisco, Texas and is part of the Frisco Independent School District. The school, which is scheduled to open in Fall 2016 for the 2016-2017 school year, is the district's ninth and newest high school.[1] It will open with only freshmen attending for its first academic year.

Namesake

edit

The school will be named for Lebanon, a community which existed at the site about half a century before Frisco and was located near the Preston Trail.[1] 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-theme name."[2]
