North Dallas High School is a public secondary school located in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas, Texas, (USA). North Dallas enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. As of 2010 the principal administrator is Dinnah Escanilla.
In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.
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 as Clinton P. Russell High School 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.
In the early 1990s the school size placed it athletically in the 5A sports until late 2000 it dropped to 4A to compete athletically.
The school 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.
