North Dallas High School
North Dallas High School is a public secondary school located in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas, Texas, United States. It enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. As of 2017, the principal administrator is Katherine Eska.
In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency. In 2017, the school earned state distinctions in the areas of Math and Closing Achievement Gaps.
Built in 1922, North Dallas High School is one of the oldest standing high school buildings in the city of Dallas; Booker T. Washington High School was established in 1902 as the Dallas Colored High School, but its current building was constructed well afterward. By 1925, the school had developed sufficient community loyalty that a district decision to rename the school Clinton P. Russell High School in honor of the district's superintendent after his death met with opposition from numerous locals, predominately mothers, who physically blocked the ladders of workmen attempting to make the change, leading the district to rescind its decision the following week (a new elementary school would instead hold Russell's name).
In the early 1990s the school's size placed it in the 5A sports division, until late 2000, when it dropped to 4A.[citation needed]
As of 2015[update] most of the students were racial and ethnic minorities (races other than non-Hispanic white) and about 10% were classified as homeless.
The school itself, in a mixed-income area, serves most of the Oak Lawn area, Maple Lawn, Uptown, Victory Park, Perry Heights, Turtle Creek, Cedar Springs, Bryan Place, Regent's Park on Gillespie Street, and Cityplace. The school also serves downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum, Old East Dallas, and the Dallas ISD portion of Highland Park. Small sections of Munger Place and Swiss Avenue are zoned to North Dallas.

In 2010 a mural depicting characters created by alumnus Tex Avery was painted on school walls. The Looney Tunes murals were being drawn and painted by students down the middle hall of the first floor in the main school building in honor of Avery, creator of Daffy Duck and other characters. The mural competition was reported in the Dallas Morning News, noting students Norma Cruz and Michael Diaz, while News 8 also mentioned these memorials to Tex Avery on February 22, the same day the murals were to be completed. The judging took place on February 24, and on February 26 was a celebration of Tex Avery's birthday.[citation needed] The winner of the competition was assigned to design the new Bulldog mascot for the school.
