Stadium Jackie Hendricks Stadium, formerly known as Panther Stadium, was built in the 1950s. For the 2009 school year, the stadium received a major renovation and was renamed after Jackie Paul Hendricks, a teacher and coach at Princeton High School. In this renovation, the south side visitors bleachers were removed and replaced with a new home side stands and press box, resulting in the visitors section being relocated to the north side. For the 2025 school year, the stadium received a $13.5 million dollar renovation, including a new athletic office, parking lot, scoreboard, locker rooms, and moving the home side back to the north with an all-new home stands and press box. Administration The district is led by Superintendent Donald McIntyre, CATE Director Connor Hackman and four trustees: Board President Carlos Cuellar, Vice President Starla Sharpe, Secretary Bianca Washington, Sonia Ledezma, Cyndi Darland, Duane Kelly & John Campbell.
