Dallas High School was a public secondary school in Dallas, Texas. It is the alma mater of several notable Americans, including former U.S. Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark. Built in 1907, the 3.5-story classical revival structure is located in the downtown City Center District next to the Pearl/Arts District DART light rail station.

History

Dallas High School changed names several times, becoming Main High School in 1916, Bryan Street High School in 1917, Dal-Tech High School in 1928, Crozier Technical High School in 1942, and Business Magnet School in 1976. The school closed in 1995.

The school campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Dallas High School Historic District in 1996. The historic district comprises five contributing properties:

  • Auditorium and Classroom Building, 1907
  • Girls' Gymnasium and Manual Training Building, 1919-1920
  • Classroom Building, 1930
  • Arts and Science Building, 1941
  • Boys' Gymnasium and Dressing Room, 1954

After being vacant for over 20 years, the building was renovated to become a mixed-use development with the first tenant arriving in 2017.
