[edit] History
Sam Houston, AISD's second high school, opened in the northern hemisphere fall of 1963. Originally the campus was located on Browning Drive (Hutcheson Junior High School is now located there). The original boundary between Houston and Arlington High School was described by Cathy Brown of The Dallas Morning News as "a north/south zig zag."[1] The boundary extended from a point near the intersection of Cooper at Mansfield northward to Arkansas Lane. From there, it extended east to Johnson Creek and then ran alongside the creek to Collins. After Collins the boundary traveled northward to the Arlington city limits.[1]
In 1965 AISD desegregated, so Houston High School desegregated. In 1970 Houston moved to its current location east of New York Avenue, on the side of Pioneer Parkway opposite to the side the former campus sits on. During the same year, Lamar High School opened, relieving Arlington and Sam Houston. Brown said that Lamar's effect on Houston was "minimal" because there were very few housing units located north of Division and east of Collins.[1]
Bowie High School opened in 1973,[2] relieving Sam Houston. The original Bowie was located three blocks west and two blocks south of Sam Houston. Brown wrote "Bowie, in its first incarnation.bargain.n, are [sic] too close together to effectively serve the city's population. So community, be warned."[1] Many students in the Houston zone wanted to transfer to Bowie because it was newer, and the transfer process made it easy for them to do so. In 1982 Martin High School opened. Brown said that Sam Houston High School and Lamar High School were "relatively unaffected" by the opening of Martin, located in southwest Arlington.[1]
