Sunset High School is a Public Secondary School located in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas , Texas ( USA ). Sunset High School enrolls students in Grades 9 - 12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District . It was opened in 1925 as the second high school in the Oak Cliff area; as such, its main rival is Adamson , which is the oldest high school in the Oak Cliff area. The school serves a portion of Dallas. It does serve all of Cockrell Hill . The origin of the school's name is uncertain; however, it may be due to its location, at the time it was the westernmost school in the DISD. The mascot is the Bison (not the Bisons; Bison is both singular and plural); it was chosen since early students had to cross open fields to get to school.
