We had the honor of celebrating the grand opening of the new Ben Crenshaw Golf Academy. It was an incredible experience to be part of, and I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed, especially Coach Nick Lebo, Coach Tommy Norris, Coach Jason Cecil, Ms. Linda Garcia and Lee Rigby for their dedication and hard work from start to finish. Your efforts have created a fantastic facility for our students to grow, learn, and enjoy. I also want to thank all who donated and participated in building this wonderful space. Special thanks to our guest, Ben Crenshaw, and our Superintendent, Matias Segura, for their support and presence during the celebration. Thank you for your ongoing dedication and loyalty.
Loyal Forever!

What is Dedication Day?
Held each spring, Dedication Day is observed as an anniversary celebration of the 1976 dedication of the Lakeside Campus. We consider Dedication Day to be the “official birthday” of the school. Distinguished Alumni and Honored Faculty are inducted into the Hall of Honor, AHS alumni Veterans are honored, and select Seniors are inducted into the Maroon Society.
The purpose of Dedication Day is to “tie the new school to the old and the past to the present.” After the school was moved to its present lakeside location – in fall of 1975 – students created a movement known as the Hall of Honor Student Steering Committee. The work of the student committee resulted in an annual observance – Dedication Day, and a reason for an annual observance – The Austin High School Hall of Honor, a roll call of distinguished and meritorious Maroons.
Dedication Day events typically include an archival display, an honoree induction ceremony, and the Grand Assembly. In the Grand Assembly, former students, teachers and community guests join over 2000 students and 200 staff members for the coming together of Austin High past, present and future. With time comes change, and we must modify what we can do, but we strive to continue celebrating as a campus community.

Construction and Campus Improvements
Austin High is entering a new phase of campus improvements this semester. An informational meeting will be held in the library on February 5th at 5:00 p.m., hosted by AISD Project Managers. This meeting is open to all families and will provide important details on how construction may impact our campus and parking. Additionally, our AHS Track is nearing completion. Signs have been installed to indicate temporary restrictions on public use for safety and permit compliance. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to enhance our facilities.
