North Fort Worth High School
historic place
North Fort Worth High School, located in Tarrant County, holds a significant place in the area's educational history. The building, constructed between 1918 and 1919, was the second high school built by the Fort Worth Independent School District after the North Side's partial annexation in 1909. It was designed by architects Sanguinet and Staats, whose work was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. Contractor J. C. Buchanan was responsible for its construction. The school was built to accommodate the growing number of students whose families worked in the Swift and Armour meat-packing plants in North Fort Worth. From 1937 to 1955, the structure served as Technical High School. In 1955, it became an annex to J.P. Elder Middle School. Today, this historic building is recognized as a Historic Place and is listed on the National Register, reflecting its enduring architectural and educational legacy in Fort Worth.
