History
Originally known as Birdville Academy when it opened in 1858, Haltom High School was named Birdville High School when Birdville ISD was incorporated in 1926.[3] It was the only high school in the district until Richland High School opened in the fall of 1961.[4][5] The original high school was located on a triangular piece of property atop Birdville Hill, where the Birdville ISD district offices, Birdville Stadium, and Birdville Auditorium are still located.[6][7][8]
A bond election in May 1986 authorized the district to purchase land and construct a new Haltom High School.[3] The new school was built on Haltom Road, approximately one-half mile north of Interstate 820.[9] The new campus opened for classes in the fall of 1989. The old Haltom High School was renovated, and became Shannon Alternative High School.[10]
An almost 400,000 square foot renovation and expansion of the Haltom Road campus was completed in 2010, adding a new wing and expanding the main building. Additional buildings were added that house science labs, classrooms, administration areas, and band and orchestra halls.[11][12][13]
