John Paul Stevens High School located in the Seaworld area, is one of nineteen public high schools in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, USA.[3] The campus is located near SeaWorld San Antonio. As with all Northside ISD schools, the school is named for a United States Supreme Court justice, in this case John Paul Stevens, who attended the school's dedication in 2005.[4] For the 2024-2025 school year, the school received an overall rating of "D" from the Texas Education Agency.[5]
As of 2025, the enrollment at Stevens is 2,546 students. The middle schools that feed into Stevens are Pease Middle School and Vale Middle School.
In 1987, Pope John Paul II held mass on the site that later became Stevens High School. The service was part of his visit to San Antonio, and a monument sits near the school to commemorate the visit.[6][7]
Stevens was built with funds from the voter approved 2001 Bond Issue. Designed by PBK Architects, it was built by Bartlett Cocke Contractors at a cost of $50 million. The 398,000-square-foot (37,000 m2), state of the art school building is two-story, and has an abundance of natural light.[8]
