John Paul Stevens High School is one of nineteen public high schools in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, USA. [3] The campus is located near SeaWorld San Antonio. As with all Northside ISD schools, the school is named for a United States Supreme Court justice, in this case John Paul Stevens, who attended the school's dedication in 2005. [4] For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given a "C" by the Texas Education Agency. [5]
As of Fall 2017, the enrollment at Stevens is capped at 3,000, and middle schools that would normally feed into Stevens now feed into Earl Warren High School and William Howard Taft High School (areas outside of Loop 1604 off Potranco and Military Roads).
In 1987, Pope John Paul II held mass on the site that later became Stevens High School. The service was part of his visit to San Antonio, and a monument sits near the school to commemorate the visit. [6] [7]
Stevens was built with funds from the voter approved 2001 Bond Issue. Designed by PBK Architects, it was built by Bartlett Cocke Contractors at a cost of $50 million. The 398,000-square-foot (37,000 m2), state of the art school building is two-story, and has an abundance of natural light. [8]
The Stevens Falcons compete in the following sports: [9]
