Memorial High School is a public, co-educational secondary school located in Port Arthur, Texas, United States. It was established in August 2002 after a merger of Thomas Jefferson High (4A), Abraham Lincoln High (4A) and Stephen F. Austin High (2A). Memorial High (5A) is since the only high school of the Port Arthur Independent School District. It serves most of Port Arthur and a portion of Groves.
When Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen F. Austin high schools were consolidated, students voted on the new name for the district and the top two vote-getters were "Memorial High School" and "Thurgood Marshall High School." In September of 2007, school board member Terry Doyle suggested renaming Memorial High School after the late Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams, a Port Arthur native who received the Medal of Honor for his bravery in World War II.[1]
Athletics
Under coach Dean Colbert Memorial posted a 22-18 record from 2002-2005. He was succeeded by Ronnie Thompson,[2] who had already coached at Thomas Jefferson from 1978 to 1981, where his players included Todd Dodge (current North Texas coach) and Craig Stump (current West Brook HS coach).
Jimmy Johnson former Super Bowl winning coach of the Cowboys and College National Title winning coach of the Hurricanes graduated. Janis Joplin also attended this school.
