The Highland Park lacrosse program has established a formidable reputation in Texas, with the DI varsity teams capturing six state championship titles in 10 years. Highland Park Boys Lacrosse has a robust youth program consisting of almost 500 University Park and Highland Park 1st-8th grade boys participating on 22 Bantam and Youth Teams that feed into the high school program, which consists of Junior Varsity, D2 Varsity and DI Varsity teams.
