History
San Antonio High School was established in 1882. In 1917, it was rebuilt and renamed Main Avenue High School. In 1932, the campus was repurposed as a vocational school, and at that time it acquired its present name, Fox Technical High School. Students from the old Main Avenue High School who intended to continue pursuing academic studies were sent to the newly built Thomas Jefferson High School.[https://txarchives.org/utsa/finding_aids/00097.xml A Guide to the Main Avenue High School Alumni Association Records, 1921-1999].
