Dripping Springs ISD Updates |
|
CLASS OF 2021:
Congratulations to the Dripping Springs High School Class of 2021! It took two tries at graduation thanks to a rainout on Friday but we presented diplomas to 500 seniors on May 29. While their final year had unexpected disruptions due to COVID, our seniors were successful in many areas. They accumulated 20,871 hours of community service during a time when face-to-face volunteer opportunities were hard to come by and they reported $6.4 million in scholarships.
LONE STAR CUP:
In the most recent UIL Lone Star Cup standings for all 5A schools statewide DSHS was tied seventh, and just one point out of fifth. The Lone Star Cup considers results in sports, One-Act Play, band, robotics, and academic competitions. The final update, which will include softball and baseball results, will be released in June. The Tiger baseball team just missed a trip to the state tournament after losing a hard-fought series to Rouse High School in the regional final.
COVID UPDATES:
On May 20, the DSISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a recommendation to make facemasks optional in district facilities starting May 28, 2021. This decision came following an Executive Order issued by Governor Abbott stating that government entities, including school districts, can no longer require facemasks in their facilities starting June 4, 2021. The board chose to implement this directive sooner, in advance of graduation and the start of summer school/camps.

Desert Door Ribbon Cutting Ceremony |
|
The Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated a ribbon cutting for The Rackhouse event space at Desert Door.
Unabashedly contemporary, The Rackhouse at Desert Door nonetheless features many of the warm, rustic touches that make up the Hill Country aesthetic - we call it Desert Modern. One of the first things you’ll notice when you enter the space is the dramatic 28-foot bar that runs virtually the length of the room. Spacious, with soaring 20-foot ceilings, The Rackhouse can hold as many as 75 or be configured with the appropriate seating and lighting to deliver a more intimate experience. Because of its straightforward rectangular layout, The Rackhouse is infinitely flexible.
The Rackhouse at Desert Door comprises two spaces - the main Rackhouse room and the Rackhouse Patio. They can be rented independently or together. A pair of massive steel and glass doors join the two spaces. While we are adjacent to a distillery, the Rackhouse is a quiet space with its own private entrance and is closed to the general public - only you and your guests will have access.
To reserve the space or find out more information please contact Jessica Alderete, Onsite Events Coordinator, at 512-944-3093 or jessica@desertdoor.com. Find more information about Desert Door Distillery at desertdoor.com.

Mark Handley - State Farm Ribbon Cutting |
|
On June 3 rd the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at the new office for Mark Handley – State Farm located at 701 W Highway 290. This was a prelude to Mark’s Open House and 20th Anniversary held on June 5th.
Mark has been associated with State Farm Insurance since 1990 and worked in several roles such as Claims and Human Resources before returning to Texas in 2000 and opening his agency in 2001. Many people thought he was crazy for opening a business in a town with a population then of 1000 and only 2 traffic lights, but as Mark said “I was certain this was the right place for me and my family”.
Well, Dripping Springs has grown and Mark wanted to thank Dripping Springs for supporting him and his business for the past 20 years. He said “it has been a pleasure becoming involved in such a wonderful community”. Since moving to the area, Mark has served as a board member on the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Dripping Springs Education Foundation, DSYSA Soccer, and as a Commissioner for the City of Dripping Springs Founder’s Day and an officer for the Dripping Springs Knights of Columbus.
Although Mark is known around town for his business and his charity work, he is really known as “Molly’s husband”. Molly has been the receptionist at Rooster Springs since 2011 and is the rock of their family of 6. Sarah is a 2011 DSHS graduate and holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree from Texas Tech. Scott is a 2015 DSHS graduate and holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Texas Tech. Sage is a 2018 graduate of DSHS and is currently a senior at Texas A&M and Sloan is a senior at Dripping Springs High School.
Mark would like to invite those who were unable to make the ribbon cutting or open house to come by and visit with him and his team. “We take great pride in helping our customers remove liability risks, protect their greatest asset and save them money when we can”.
