Justin Wakeland High School is a high school located in Frisco, Texas and is the third high school for the Frisco Independent School District.

It opened for the first time to students on August 14, 2006. Most sophomores and juniors were transferred from Frisco High School because of expansion of the city and Frisco ISD. Incoming freshman usually came from Griffin Middle School, and others from Staley Middle School.

Name

The school is named after Dr. Justin Wakeland, who served as the superintendent of the Frisco ISD for 19 years, preceding the current superintendent Dr. Rick Reedy.

Media

The school has a bi-weekly television show called Win-TV, which features many interesting segments and interviews about what's happening at Wakeland High School.

Wakeland Access, the newspaper, is sent around at lunch every so often that features various articles about events at the school.

The yearbook staff, the Jug-her-naught, compiles a yearbook for the school. The yearbook for the 2006-2007 school year was titled "Blueprints" in honor of the school's first year. The second volume for the 2007-2008 school year was titled "Coming Full Circle" in honor of the school finishing its first year with all four grades and having its first graduating class. In the 2008-2009 year, the yearbook was entitled "Awakenings" and featured a recycled look. In 2009-2010 the yearbook was entitled "Greater Than" and featured many > symbols.
