Why is this prestigious school named “Hockaday”? Right here, in the heart of Dallas, stands the Hockaday School. It’s a renowned independent day school for girls. Founded in 1913 by Ela Hockaday, the school was a response to a group of Dallas businessmen who wanted a top-tier education for their daughters, comparable to what their sons received. Starting with just ten students, Hockaday has grown into a beacon of academic excellence. Did you know that Ela Hockaday initially envisioned the school as a college preparatory institution? She even established a junior college in 1931, which operated until 1951. The school has a long tradition of attracting bright young minds. Ela Hockaday’s dedication and vision have left a lasting legacy. They’ve empowered generations of young women to pursue their passions and make their mark on the world. As you walk away from Hockaday, carry a piece of Ela’s pioneering spirit with you. Remember, the pursuit of knowledge and virtue goes hand in hand.
