[edit] Northside today
Northside today is 355 square miles of urban landscape, suburban growth and rural Texas hill country.
Northside has chosen a unique method of naming its traditional high schools; each school is named for a former or current United States Supreme Court justice. Under current district policy (see below), eighth graders who will be part of a new high school's first graduating class are encouraged to research prior justices and submit nominations.
The justices so honored are Tom C. Clark, Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Jay, John Marshall (the oldest high school; originally named Northside Rural High School but later renamed to conform to the naming convention), Sandra Day O'Connor, John Paul Stevens (who attended the school's dedication), William Howard Taft, and Earl Warren. Louis D. Brandeis has been honored to be the namesake for the district's newest high school; the groundbreaking ceremony was on March 30, 2006, with planned completion by May 2008.
