Allen was known as "Fox & Jacobsville" when my family lived up in that area. Sort of Plano wannabes.

My, how times have changed. I wonder if they'll ever build another high school (currently one of largest in U.S.) or if football titles are really that important to them.

Doesn't the City of Central, LA School District use PBK for their designs. I remember the new middle school having design issues that was brought to everyone's attention by the contractor. I think the steel structure was under designed by the PBK hired structural engineers.

Allen is quite a different place now. I cannot see them ever building another high school, there is no where to put it. The current one is in the middle of the city limits practically and if they built a new one, it would be within 2-3 miles of the current one. They have the land around the HS to add on to it. Plano, McKinney, Frisco have all gone to multiple high schools, but they cover a larger landmass.

Football is king in Texas and Allen has won their district every year since 2006. They also have 3 5A titles, including back to back 2012 and 2013. Academics are top notch as well.

Many people that are not happy with the district size have been going East some to get into the Lovejoy school district. The one downside to a large enrollment, you have to be exceptional to stand out in sports or academics.

Little Allen does have some other pros too -
Cabelas and Top Golf.
