ABOUT Community: Dripping Springs lies in the beautiful Texas Hill Country about 25 miles west of Austin, the state capital. This beautiful Hill Country town offers majestic views, abundant wildlife, rolling hills, and rock bottom creeks. In the late fall of 1853, three families bound by kinship and a desire to move to Texas, put their belongings in wagons and left Mississippi. In late January 1854 they topped what is now called Wallace Mountain and decided this would be the place they would make their home. Their chosen spot was only 30 miles west of the capital of Texas but was still considered part of the frontier, complete with Indians. Dripping Springs remained an unincorporated community until 1981 when an election on April 4 the citizens decided to incorporate. The major impetus for incorporation was to prevent the city of Austin from annexing Dripping Springs into its extraterritorial jurisdiction. In the first city election on August 8, 1981, James W. "Jimmy" Glosson became the community's first mayor. The Dripping Springs population, within its city limit, is about 1,500 although its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is home to nearly 20,000. The city offers an exceptional school system, affordable living, and proximity to Austin and San Antonio. &nbsp;         TOTAL STUDENTS: 4100 <o:p> </o:p> To apply for this position, close this page (x upper right).
