History

The 2009–2010 school year began in a brand new building. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency. [2]

In September 2015, then-principal Greg Wright created controversy for the school and the Prosper School District, as reported in the Dallas Morning News, when it was revealed he criticized a faculty member that reported a teacher from PHS to the Police for inappropriately touching a student. [3] [4]

In 2018, two editorials were removed from Prosper High School's student newspaper. [5] The students claimed that they would be censored if they published anything perceived to criticize the school. [6] The Student Press Law Center sent a letter to the Superintendent of Prosper Independent School District, urging them to remediate the school principal's "hijacking and censorship" of the student newspaper. [5]

However, UIL added a new classification for low-enrollment schools, turning Class 4A into Class 5A. With PHS's enrollment of 2110 in October 2015, it was one of the largest schools in Class 5A (schools 1100-2049 students) for the 2016–17 and 2017-18 seasons.
