The University Interscholastic League (UIL), the governing body for high school athletics in Texas, recently unveiled the 2024-2026 Reclassification and Realignment for football, basketball, and volleyball. This announcement, released on Thursday morning, outlines the districts and classifications that high school athletic programs across the state will compete in for the upcoming two seasons, starting from the 2024-25 school year.

Changes on the Horizon

While many Houston-area high schools will experience minimal alterations, some will undergo significant shifts in their district makeup or even move into different classifications. The specifics of the districts were largely unknown until this recent announcement, providing clarity to schools following UIL Snapshot Day in December.
