History
[edit]Irving High School was initially located on Jefferson and 2nd Street. Nicknamed "Old Red,"[3] the red brick building hosted the school until 1929 when a new facility was built. A new high school was built in 1936, and was replaced again in 1949. The current campus was completed in 1961.[4]
For many years, Irving High was the only high school for white students in Irving ISD until MacArthur High School opened in 1963.[5] In 1967, the school was desegregated following the closure of the K-12 J.O. Davis School, which served Black students from kindergarten to twelfth grade.[6]
