Wimberly ISD

[Ernest T Bass]

I was not aware that the district was so young. A community in the metroplex is wanting to do the same thing and they've made several references to the formation of Wimberly ISD. Was anyone here around during the formation? Id love to hear about it.

You talking about Farmers Branch?

[Ernest T Bass]

Yep. I dont see it passing. But the Wimberly deal intrigues me. Id love to hear from someone who was present for it.

[TexDad]

I was around, what would you like to know. I might be able to answer questions. We split away from Hays CISD in 1985.

[TexDad]

If I don't know the answer I think I could find out.

We moved here in 1985 during Wimberley HS's first year after breaking off from Hays Consolidated ISD.Students that were going to Hays were given their choice to stay there or go to the new WISD.It was quite a drive to Hays so I don't think too many chose to stay other than senoirs.We started out in 2A and won our 1st district Championship in 1990 and went to the semis in 1993 before moving to 3A the next year.

Wimberley back in 1977 brings back bad memories while living in Austin and going to school

Met a girl at a Peter Frampton concert at age of 19 or 20 and fell in love instantly


went for a sunday drive and drove though what wimberley was a very very very small town

It was cold and rainy and no traffic- It was one of memorabley deals

Kathy moved back to somewhere to out of state and but will never forget that day and short romance

Wimberly started as a small farm producing "product" for the Willie Nelson tour and just blossomed from there.

Yea, all these people moving in really took it's toll on my "side job". Now it grows everywhere. I kind of had a monopoly back in the 70's...........

I always heard that Wimberley was where people from Austin moved to who thought Austin was not liberal enough.

:thinking: ;)

Yeah I don't know who came up with that idea but that carpet made for ankle and knee injuries.My daughter was one of them!

[S&GDOGS]

AHH!!!!! The "HOUSE OF SHAG", what great memories, Won many games in the HOUSE. Really threw people off of thier game. As stated earlier it was the sound factor more than anything else. Often heard the "ball did not bounce on the carpet", it did for us.
The reason for the carpet? The school was originally built as a middle school in 1984-85, then in 1986 the Wimberley School district was formed seperating from Hays thank goodness, it would have been an 1 1/2 bus ride to school for me. A lot of great memories of those early years.

That was a LONG time ago. All of Hays County is pretty much conservative and votes overwhelmingly Republican. Travis County (Austin) didnt vote for Bush either election!
