Northside High School, formerly Jefferson Davis High School, is a secondary school located at 1101 Quitman in the Near Northside neighborhood of Northside, Houston, Texas with a ZIP code of 77009. The school was previously named after Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederate States of America.
The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Houston Independent School District. The mascot of Northside is the Panther.
The school also has a Hotel and Restaurant Management magnet program.
The HISD board voted to give the school its current name in 2016.
History
Davis was previously reserved for white children but it desegregated by 1970.
In 1993, project GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) was founded at Davis High. The program provides scholarships to students as incentive to complete high school and enroll in college.
Prior to 1996 it was renovated through the Renewal A bond program, which spent $5.5 million on Davis. In 1996 it had 1,800 students.
Campus
In 1996 the school had terrazzo floors. At the time it had one temporary building used for classes and two others for other purposes; it had a fewer number compared to some other schools because it was not overcrowded. In 1996 Terry Kliewer of the Houston Chronicle praised the building's features and maintenance, and stated that it "exemplifies what is possible when an old building gets good maintenance and timely remodeling."
Neighborhoods served by Northside
Northside High School serves Near Northside, Northside Village, Irvington, Lindale Park, a portion of the Fifth Ward, and most of Downtown Houston.
The school serves Irvington Village, a public housing unit and Fulton Village, a mixed-income unit, both of the Houston Housing Authority. The school's boundary also includes the

Extracurricular activities
In the summer of 2016, the former JDMB (Jeff Davis Marching Band), was reorganized into the Northside Marching Band. The Panther Band is directed by Timothy D. Richardson, a graduate of Prairie View A&M University, who took over the band program in 2015. The band specializes in show style marching, with certain elements implemented from corps style marching.
