What did it take to build a high school “in the woods?” That’s what people were calling it in 1922, you see. This plaque here marks the spot of North Dallas High School. It was so far outside the city limits back then, people thought it was practically in the wilderness. Can you imagine? The school opened its doors in 1922. It was the fourth high school in Dallas. It was originally built to hold 1,200 students. But that first year? They had over 1,900 students cram in! It quickly earned a reputation as a true community hub. Part of that community spirit? They had some famous folks graduate from these halls. Ever heard of Tex Avery, the cartoonist who created Bugs Bunny? Yep, he walked these halls. In 2008, the state of Texas recognized the importance of North Dallas High School, awarding it a historical marker. The school has seen a lot of changes over the years but it’s still going strong. It stands as a reminder of the power of community and the importance of education.
