Connally High School Likely To Appeal Recent UIL Realignment

PFLUGERVILLE, TX -- Connally High School is expected to be among the school’s appealing the University Interscholastic League’s realignment last week.

Every two years, the UIL studies schools’ growth and places them in district play with like-sized schools accordingly. But not every school is happy with their realignment, for a variety of reasons.

Connally officials are likely to request a move into District 25-5A, the Austin American-Statesman reports. After biennial realignment, the Cougars were placed in a nine-team district that would have it compete against Cedar Park, Georgetown, Hutto and Bastrop teams.

The appeal appears to be one related to distance: The average distance between Connally and its proposed rivals in District 19-5A is 21.7 miles, notes the Statesman.

Connally High School is part of the Pflugerville ISD.
