Fort Davis High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fort Davis High School is a high school in Fort Davis, an unincorporated community in Jeff Davis County, Texas, United States. The school is operated by the Fort Davis Independent School District. Its sports teams are called the Indians, and they are involved in Football, Volleyball, Basketball, and other events.

Fort Davis, like other Texas communities, formerly had racially-segregated schools,[1] with the "white" school on the site of the present-day Fort Davis High School. The "Mexican school" was located at the current site of Dirks-Anderson Elementary School in Fort Davis.
