Lake Travis High School Wins State Football Championship; Exemplary Rating for LTISD Schools

Texas Hill Country living just ain’t right without Friday night lights. High school football in Texas is big. Bigger than big, in fact. It is a way of life.



The Lake Travis Cavaliers have just won their fourth straight Texas football championship. This is a record that will stand long and stand hard.



Lake Travis, class 4A, is one of only three teams to ever run the hat trick plus one. Only Sealy (94-97) and Celina (98-01) have ever accomplished this feat. Lake Travis did this despite adversity and injuries. Can they do it again next year, and be the only 4A team to ever win 5 state championships in a row? Well, that remains to be seen, however with the support of the community and parents, this team may just have a shot at that.



Lake Travis Independent School District is located just outside of Austin in the Texas Hill Country, near Mansfield Dam. It is just west of the Eanes ISD (known as Westlake), off 2244 and 620. Some say that those who can’t go to Westlake go to Lake Travis. I think Lake Travis might have something to say about that.



The Lake Travis ISD is rated as an "exemplary" school district by the Texas Education Agency. Specifically, the five feeder elementary schools, two middle schools, and the one and only high school rank high on the list for not only graduation rates (zero to low dropout rates), as well as college attendance. Lake Travis ISD pupils are simply expected to go to college – there is no other option. And that is one thing that makes this school district stand out.



The involvement of the parents and the community is tantamount to the success of the "kids". Success in the LTISD not only encompasses football, but other sports such as women’s volleyball as well. Of course, the true measure of success in any forum of academia is the future higher education and success of the students. Lake Travis ISD prepares its students for the best colleges, in both the state, nation, and abroad.



Living in the Texas Hill Country amongst the Lake Travis Cavaliers, one cannot help but note that success is all but guaranteed for the students. What a great place this is to live and grow!
