It is getting easier to keep track of the colleges offering fencing (class or team or club) thanks to SWIFA. It got me to wondering, however, what (and how many) high schools in Texas offer fencing.
I know a lot of individual fencing clubs have their share of high-school fencers, but I mean classes or clubs attached to a high school (public or private).
In the Gulf Coast Division I know of 4:
I know South Houston High School (public school) has classes and a team (so far).
Cy-Falls High School (public school) has a fencing club.
St. Agnes Academy (private) has a fencing club.
I know the Westchester Academy of International Studies has a club. (It is essentially a high school, but different enough I do not know if it is considered public or private).

I don't know of any you've missed down here unless Strake Jesuit started up (St. Agnes is their sister school). I think I've seen a lot of women's sabre competitors from some private school in the Dallas area. I want to think it starts with an "H": Holiday, Huckaby, something

Going on memory - I believe Rockwall High School also has a fencing program of some sort.

Okay, that gives us two in public schools in the North Texas Division. Is there anything in South Texas or Plains Texas divisions like these?
