John Jay High School is a high school in the Northside Independent School District of San Antonio, Texas which generally serves the northwest portion of the city.
History
All high schools in the Northside Independent School District (NISD) are named for US Supreme Court Chief Justices; the first Supreme Court Chief Justice was John Jay. John Jay High also contains a magnet school, the John Jay Science and Engineering Academy.
Student Locator Project
On October 1, 2012, the high school and Anson Jones Middle School began the controversial "Student Locator Project." Students were required to wear school IDs that were embedded with RFID microchips at all times. Student Andrea Hernandez was suspended from the school for refusing to wear the badge for religious reasons, linking it to the "mark of the beast" in the biblical book of Revelation. The Rutherford Institute filed a suit on behalf of Hernandez, and on November 21, 2012, a judge tentatively blocked the suspension. Hernandez was expelled from the school in January 2013. In July 2013, she was allowed to re-enter the school which had abandoned the RFID project.
