Justin Wakeland High School is a public high school located in Frisco, Texas, United States. It is classified as a 5A school by the University Interscholastic League (UIL). It is a part of the Frisco Independent School District, and is one of ten district high schools. It opened on August 14, 2006. Incoming freshmen usually come from Griffin Middle School, Cobb Middle School, and others used to from Staley Middle School, but that has since changed to memorial high school. Most sophomores and juniors were transferred from Frisco High School due to the expansion of the city and Frisco ISD. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]

Namesake[]

The school was originally to be named Legacy High School.[4] During construction, it was instead named for Justin Wakeland, who served as the superintendent of the Frisco ISD for 19 years from 1978 to 1997.[5]
