UIL’s biennial reclassification and realignment process was used to determine athletic and academic competition districts for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.

UIL Biennial Reclassification & Realignment Competition is always challenging regardless of classification, and we hope to offer students the opportunity to learn character, leadership, and sportsmanship regardless of the class or district that we are assigned,” commented Granbury ISD athletic director Dwight Butler. 

In October 2021, Granbury ISD submitted high school enrollment data of 2,138 students – ultimately keeping it firmly in the Class 5A classification. The figure includes student enrollment counts for both GHS and STARS Accelerated High School. Class 5A now includes schools with populations between 1,300 and 2,224 with football only divided between Divisions I (1,925-2,224) and II (1,300-1,924). 

In 2019, GHS was in Class 5A with 2,073 students for the realignment process – up from the 2,004 turned in 2017. For the biennium, the classification was composed of schools with student populations between 1,230 and 2,219. 

The UIL, a division of the University of Texas at Austin, is the rulemaking body for educational extracurricular academic, athletic, and music contests in Texas public schools. The league aims to provide healthy, character building, educational activities carried out under rules providing for good sportsmanship and fair play for all participants.
