James Martin High School is a secondary school serving grades 9 through 12 in Arlington, Texas, and is part of the Arlington Independent School District. The mascot of the school is the Warrior, and the school colors are black, red, and silver. ==History== Martin opened in 1982. As a result, the old Bowie High School closed in 1983. Cathy Brown of ''The Dallas Morning News'' said that Sam Houston High School and Lamar High School were "relatively unaffected" by the opening of Martin, located in southwest Arlington.〔Brown, Cathy (editorial columnist). "(No blackboard jungles despite changing demographics )." ''The Dallas Morning News''. Wednesday October 14, 1998. Opinions Arlington 7A. Retrieved on October 25, 2011.〕 Brown explained that the attendance zone of Arlington High School lost many newly constructed houses for affluent people. After Martin's opening and by 1998, the school consistently won the all-sports award.〔 The school is named after former Superintendent James W. Martin. The name of the school was deemed controversial by some because it broke the trend of naming new AISD high schools after Texas heroes (the latest high school, Seguin High School, renewed the trend). In 1997, the school underwent a massive renovation and overhaul, adding two new wings, one doubling the size of the east wing and one surrounding the entire southern and western side of the school, making a new auditorium replacing the old one, adding a newer and current main entrance along with a new office and several computer labs, doubling the size of the library, and a new wing to the northern one adding two new gymnasiums in addition to the two existing ones, along with a larger weight room and locker rooms. The cafeteria was expanded and a second courtyard was made. It is rated by Texas Education Agency as an exemplary campus, since the 1997-1998 school year, the school has received an exemplary rating based on data from the TAAS testing and PIEMS report. During the 2002-2003 school year, Martin gained an acceptable rating from the preliminary testing of the TAKS test. In 2014 the ''The Warrior Post'', the student newspaper, criticized a set of T-shirts made for the school's American football team due to concerns about connotations of rape. The school asked students to not wear the shirts.〔"(Arlington school officials ban Martin High football shirts )" ((Archive )). ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram''. October 30, 2014.
