Stephen J. Hay School - Texas State Historical Marker

This site commemorates Stephen J. Hay, a significant civic and business leader in Dallas. The Stephen J. Hay School was established here in 1921 and initially consisted of frame classrooms and outhouses. A bond election paid for a new 16-room brick schoolhouse in 1926, designed by architect Thomas J. Galbraith.

The school building is a two-story red brick building with a prominent Tudor Revival entrance, cast stone panels, and multi-light steel windows. The school operated below capacity until 1978, when it became the site of Dallas I.S.D. offices. The building was later the first campus of the Irma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School.
