One of the Frisco Independent School District's newest high schools received an updated name Monday night.
The district's ninth high school — currently under construction on Lebanon Road — was named Lebanon High School until the school board renamed it Lebanon Trail High School last night.
The district didn't completely abandon the Lebanon name derived from a community of farmers who settled near the old Shawnee Trail half a century before the city of Frisco was established. The naming committee picked its name to honor the area's heritage.
Some parents, like Liffey Skender, wonders if that reference still resonates today. “There are a lot of people out there that are not happy with this name,” parent Liffey Skender said.
Skender voiced her concerns at a board of trustees meeting in December and says that since then, she’s received about 100 emails and two dozen phone calls from others who share them.
