History
Campus
The John McClamrock Stadium (previously Franklin Stadium), named after John McClamrock, is located at Hillcrest. In June 2011 the DISD board voted against renaming the stadium after McClamrock,[9] but in 2025 the board voted for doing so.[10]
In fall 2019 a new addition with 22 classrooms, an administrative area, a 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) competition gymnasium, a locker room, and a tornado shelter, along with renovations, are to be completed.[11]
