Thomas Jefferson High School (Dallas) is a secondary school in Dallas, Texas that serves grades 9-12. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District and is located at 4001 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, Texas 75229. The school is named after the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, and locally is known simply as "TJ."[1]
The school's colors are Columbia blue and cardinal red and its mascot is the Patriot. Until 1972, the (Confederate) Rebel served as school mascot and the Confederate Battle Flag was a recognized school emblem. The negative associations of both symbols led to a change following desegregation of Dallas schools in the early 1970s. In the 2005-06 school year, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary. Jefferson serves several sections of Dallas, including Walnut Hill Lane and the adjacent residential area, the apartment complexes along the Webb Chapel Extension, and the Love Field neighborhood.[1]
