School Notes:
  • Moisés E. Molina High School is a public secondary school located at 2355 Duncanville Road in Dallas, Texas, (USA) in the 75211 ZIP code. Molina High School enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. It serves students from parts of southwestern Dallas and parts of Cockrell Hill.
  • History: The school opened in August 1997 across Duncanville Road from Mountain View College, a community college operated by the Dallas County Community College District.
  • The school is named for Moisés E. Molina, a musician and retired DISD teacher. He attended the University of Texas at Arlington and North Texas State University. From Mr. Molina's writings:
  • On Nov. 8, 1947, I became the newest citizen of McAllen, Texas. I was child number five to my parents, three brothers, and one sister. Church was the central activity in my family, and it was in church that I discovered my love for music. At the age of six, I was in piano classes, and I kept studing music all through school.
  • Music was my love, but teaching did not enter my thoughts until high school. Many teachers have lengthy explanations about why they chose teaching as a career. I know exactly why and when I decided to teach. The assistant band director at my high school cared about me. Watching him at work, I decided to be like him. I believe all teachers pursue the profession because of a role model. One of my biggest challenges has been to be the kind of role model that my favorite teacher was.
  • The school is known for its distinctive exterior paint scheme featuring several bright colors, lending it the nickname "Skittles High".
  • Extracurriculars: The school has the Ballet Folklórico Jaguara, an extra-curriccular dance program. In August 2001, the program was featured in Texas Dance Magazine.
  • Feeder patterns: As of 2006, L. V. Stockard Middle School is the only middle school that feeds into Molina.
  • The four elementary schools (all PK-6) that feed into Molina are Mary McLeod Bethune, Leila P. Cowart, Nancy J. Cochran, and Celestino M. Soto, Jr.
