Frisco is a city in Collin and Denton Counties in Texas and a wealthy and rapidly growing suburb just north of Dallas. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 33,714, while according to 2008 city and census estimates, the city's population has surpassed 100,000. Frisco has been and continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. In the late 1990s, the northern Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex suburban development tide hit the northern border of Plano and spilled into Frisco, sparking explosive growth into the 2000s. Like many of the cities located in the booming northern suburbs of Dallas Tx, Frisco serves as a bedroom community for many professionals who work in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Like many Dallas suburbs, Frisco is accumulating a tremendous number of retail properties, including Stonebriar Shopping Center (opened August 2000), a 165-store regional mall, and IKEA (opened 2005), a furniture store with an area of 28,800 square meters (310,000 sq ft). Retail establishments and restaurant chains line Preston Road, which is one of the major north-south-running traffic arteries in the city.

 

Most of Frisco is a part of the Frisco Independent School District (FISD). Frisco ISD currently has five high schools: Liberty High School, Frisco High School, Centennial High School, Wakeland High School, and Heritage High School. A sixth high school, Lone Star High School will begin to accept students in Fall 2010. Additional bond measures have been approved to begin plans for an 7th High School. Frisco, Centennial, Liberty, and Wakeland all compete at 4A sports level. Heritage will begin 3A play in 2010 and 2011, and move up to 4A at a later time. There are nine middle schools in Frisco, and 28 Elementary Schools.
