# Walnut Grove High School (Texas)

Walnut Grove High School is a public high school in Prosper, Texas in the United States. Walnut Grove is currently one of three high schools in Prosper ISD, the others being Prosper High School and Rock Hill High School.

## History

After opening Rock Hill High School in the fall of 2020, Prosper ISD continued to grow to and beyond capacity, creating the need for a third high school. Walnut Grove was originally scheduled to open in the fall of 2022, before being pushed back a year to the fall of 2023.
The central and eastern parts of Prosper ISD's boundaries were designated to Walnut Grove's new attendance zone. Students already attending either Prosper or Rock Hill High Schools who lived in the new Walnut Grove school zone had the choice of staying at their original high school or transferring to Walnut Grove. Rising seniors set to attend either school were given the opportunity to choose which school to attend.
Walnut Grove opened as a UIL Class 5A school. As Walnut Grove opened in between realignment periods, the school played the 2023 football season without a district, having to play multiple private schools and out of state teams in order to create a schedule. This included Malvern High School in Arkansas and the Cathedral Fighting Irish from El Paso at a neutral site.

## Athletics

Walnut Grove's nickname is the Wildcats. The school colors are navy blue and silver.
