Uvalde High School is a public high school for grades 9–12 in Uvalde, Texas, in the United States. It has a current enrollment of about 1,250 students.[5] The school is part of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. The school is 90.4% Hispanic as of the 2022-2023 school year.[6]
The first school in Uvalde was built in 1885. It initially served all grade levels. The school was expanded in 1891, but later burned down in 1898. A new school was built in its place in 1900. The current structure was built in 1908 following an increase in enrollment.[7]
In 1949, the Batesville Independent School District began sending its students to Uvalde High School.[8]
In 1970, a large group of Hispanic students boycotted their classes after the all-white school board declined to renew a Hispanic elementary school teacher's contract.[9] The students also protested the lack of bilingual education. By the end of the year, the school board had not given in to their demands.[10]
See main article: Uvalde school shooting. The Uvalde School shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on May 24, 2022 at Robb Elementary school. The shooting resulted in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers. The perpetrator, Salvador Ramos, was a former student of Uvalde High School.[11] He was withdrawn from the school by school officials on October 28, 2021 due to his poor attendance.[12]
