Nederland High School in the 1920s | |
Nederland High School is a public high school located in the city ofNederland, Texas. It is part of theNederland Independent School District which covers a portion of easternJefferson County, including all of Nederland and portions ofPort Neches,Port Arthur, andBeaumont. In 2013, the school was rated "Met Standard" by theTexas Education Agency.[2]
Nederland Independent School District was officially organized in 1920, and the first high school was built in 1924 on the property where the Alternative Campus now resides at the 500 block of 12th Street. The new school was needed to accommodate students moving into the city due to the Pure Oil refinery being built. Athletics and the Nederland Band were organized in 1925 by C. 0. Wilson when he moved from Port Neches to Nederland. The current school was constructed in 1971 on N. 18th Street.[3]
The Nederland Performing Arts Theater is located on the campus of Nederland High School and hosts performances for the high school, in addition to plays and concerts for the community. It also houses the Nederland High School Band and the Nederland Drama Department. The center was built in 1999 from a bond that was passed by the voters.
