Texas is a southern state and Texans are incredibly proud to be Southern. The Southlake culture is one of family, friends, close neighbors, football and religion. Some could even argue that football is their religion at times.
Southlake is home to 17 churches. The biggest and most popular one being Gateway Church. Gateway Church has been open for only six years and has over 20,000 people attending service their every weekend.
The heart of Southlake really is its high school football team The Carroll Dragons. The Carroll Dragons have won 36 state titles since 1975. These titles include: football, wrestling, golf, cross country, swimming, baseball, soccer, basketball, marching band, one-act play, academic champion, robotics, accounting and computer science. Carroll won the Lone Star Cup in the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 school years as
a 4A school and in 2003-2004 school year as a 5A school. The Dragons are recognized nation-wide because of its very successful football program, winning seven state championships, including four of the last five state titles in Class 5A (the class featuring the state's largest high schools). Several games have been televised nationally by Fox Sports Net.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAe47TYRjOQ
