New Braunfels High School (commonly referred to as NBHS) is a public, co-educational secondary school in New Braunfels, Texas that was established in 1845. Up until 2008, New Braunfels was one of the largest, 4A, high schools in Texas. In the Spring of 2008, bi-annual University Interscholastic League (UIL) enrollment re-alignment reclassified New Braunfels as a 5A school and moved it to District 26-5A. In 2011, the school was rated "Academically Acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]


The Haiti national football team temporarily held training sessions at New Braunfels High School's stadium, as the Stade Sylvio Cator, the team's home field, was being used as a tent city for victims of the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010.[3]
