Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School is a high school in the North East Independent School District in the U.S. state of Texas. It is named after U.S. First Lady Lady Bird Johnson. The school is located in on Bulverde road and TPC Parkway, and serves Stone Oak, Encino Park, Bulverde Creek, Cibolo Canyon, Fox Grove, and other neighborhoods of Far North Central San Antonio. It also serves a portion of Timberwood Park.[2] [3] [4]
Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School opened on August 28, 2008 for its inaugural year to address the growth and expansion in the north eastern communities of San Antonio, Texas.[5]
The school relieved Ronald Reagan High School, another high school in the North East Independent School District.[6] [7]
The school sits on top of one of the tallest hills in Bexar County and overlooks some of San Antonio. The school mascot is the jaguar and the school flower is the bluebonnet. In 2008 during the first year, the community planted bluebonnets and wildflowers around the campus.
The school's song is based on the hymn "Jerusalem", which was Lady Bird's favorite hymn.
