T. C. Jasper High School (also known as Jasper or JHS) is a public co-educational secondary school in Plano, Texas (USA) serving grades nine and ten. Founded in 1996, the school is part of the Plano Independent School District. Robinson Middle School and Rice Middle School feed into Jasper. Students leaving Jasper will attend Plano West Senior High School. The school colors are green, black, and white, and the school mascot is the Jaguar.
In 2009, the school was rated "exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency.
Jasper High School is named in honor of Plano banker and businessman Thomas Chilton "T.C." Jasper.
Jasper was the third school built on the 104-acre (0.42 km2) parcel of land shared with Gulledge Elementary School and Robinson Middle School. Jasper was constructed in time for the 1996–1997 school year; however, the completion of the 240,000-square-foot (22,000 m2), two-story building was not finished until July 1999. The company estimates that the construction cost was US$17,000,000. Jasper was the newest of the five 9–10 high schools in the Plano Independent School District. Jasper opened with an enrollment of 1,172 students, and a functional capacity of approximately 1,758 students. Currently, Jasper has a student population of 1,660 students making it the third most populous high school in PISD.
In 2002, the Professional Development center was vacated. The area was then renovated, creating 7 classrooms and two offices, along with the enclosure of the outdoor dining area to create a dance room. The project, with a contract price of $700,157, was designed by Corgan Associates, Inc. and built by Tywell Construction Corporation. During the 2003 Bond Election held on August 23, 2003, a $3,500,000 addition of eight temporary classrooms was approved by a vote of 3,643 for to 1,499 against, in order to combat overcrowding in the school, which had reached 1,980. This was part of a $33,550,000 bond proposal of PISD.
