J. W. Nixon High School

Joseph W. Nixon High School is a public high school located in South Texas, United States. It was built in 1964 as the second high school in Laredo, Texas. The original high school in Laredo was Raymond & Tirza Martin High School, previously known as Laredo High School. Both are part of the Laredo Independent School District (LISD).

Over a period of two years (2014-2015), J. W. Nixon underwent a $40 million renovation. Several older campus buildings were demolished to create a reconfigured two-story building centered around a U-shaped courtyard. Funds for the project were mostly derived from a construction bond package approved by voters. As of 2016, J. W. Nixon has new complexes for tennis and track and field, along with new classrooms.
