Vietnam Memorial Plaque Installation - From Jeanne Laurie NDHSAA 2/13/2016

On May 30, 2016 at 11:00 at the front of the school, we had a Dedication Ceremony for the installation of the Vietnam Memorial Plaque, honoring those Bulldogs KIA in the Vietnam War.  The plaque has been made and paid for by the Alumni Association – through contributions made by family and friends – both Bulldogs and not.  This has been Danny Linn’s project, but the AA helped get the funds.

Kymber Lynn Jackson, DISD’s First- From Jeanne Stern Laurie

CBS aired a segment on Kymber Lynn Jackson in late March.  She is the first female state wrestling champion in the history of DISD.  Kymber and her family are also among NDHS’s homeless.  NDHS Coach Cortney Billingsley spotted her in the hall and saw a natural athlete.  Kymber went from an angry troublemaker destined to fail to a champion on the “A” Honor Roll because someone believed in her and gave her a chance.  Now that she’s had a taste of success, she wants more!  She wants to compete in the national wrestling competition in Fargo, ND later this summer – where there will be college recruiters and the chance of a scholarship.

Friday Night Lights - '52 Football Team Glory Days

From Kelly Parks - On Friday 10/15/2010, North Dallas had their homecoming game and before the game they honored the 52 NDHS Championship footbally team on the field. Article below from the Dallas Morning News summarizes the season which provided NDHS with their only year to advance to the State Semi-finals. For more information go to FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.  To see their video interviews click on the photos below:

I'm a ND graduate of 1951.  On the ND.com page I read that a student from a NDHS class was assigned to write for the Compass a story on the Haunted North Dallas High.  I would enjoy reading her story.  If you have any information on it, or can put me in touch with someone who might, I and others of the older generation would greatly appreciate it.

In my years at ND, there was nothing about it being haunted.  Perhaps it originated with the death of a student in the swimming pool which was later filled with cement.  One year an elective of mine was swimming rather than gym.  I earned a Life Saver certification.  Was it ever a humid and sweaty area to be if you weren't decked out in a bathing suit. Beautiful and happy days remembered at North Dallas.  Still maintain ND friendships. God Bless, and Happy Thoughts,

Sanger Trophy - by Gary Pina   The Greater North Dallas Alumni Association was present at the presentation of the Sanger Trophy at the Old Red Museum in downtown Dallas on Saturday, March 10.  The six schools represented included Crozier Tech, Adamson, Sunset, Woodrow Wilson, Forest Avenue and North Dallas. The Sanger Trophy was awarded from 1929 to 1954 to the school with the most points based on athletic achievement in six sporting events. The trophy, presented by Sanger Brothers department store, was lost for a while, then found and restored to its original condition by Don Martin of Sunset. It was offered as a permanent display to the Old Red Museum. North Dallas won the Sanger Trophy only once in 1946-'47. Pictured below are distinguished alumni guest Rosemary Rumbley ('49), GNDHSAA president Claude Brewer ('47) and Nancy Gilmore ('42).  In second photo is alumni association president Claude Brewer and distinguished alumni guest Colin Brady ('61). In third photo is a look at the Sanger Trophy in its permanent case at the Old Red Museum. 

From Din Adenalleva lpfreak98311@yahoo.com - Current NDHS Student  - Hello. I'm currently a Senior at North Dallas. This year we are working on the Compass for 2007. As my assignment for the newspaper I have to write about a ghost that supposedly haunts North Dallas High. Since my freshman year, I've heard stories of a ghost and this year a student has even taken a picture of such ghost. I was wondering if perhaps you could post something asking if anyone knows about such ghost or has any stories of their own about any hauntings at ND. I would really like some info concerning these ghost stories. Thank you.

NDHS Scholarships 2004 - reported by Edgar Richards 2006

9/4/04 - From Ken Riley '55 (via Bill Driscoll) - a message before Frances. Thanks for your concern and your prayers. As I read the tracking reports, as of 8:00 am, it looks like Ft. Pierce is the likely target for direct hit. This is approximately 75 miles from Boca. I live inland 8 miles from the beach. My whole neighborhood is battened down, we have food and water supplies and positive attitude. We will probably lose electricity, the only question is for how long. As I write this, it is already too late to leave, so we will hunker down, hope fro the best. I will tell you how we made out after the storm. Bye for now, Ken
