This is a tribute to the mascot of Joshua High School.
The town of Joshua was recorded and surveyed in 1880 and was first organized when the railroad line was extended through Joshua in 1881. Farming was the principal source of income for Joshua residents and cotton was the main crop. In 1883, the first cotton gin was constructed by J.M. Garrett
Farming is still important to the Joshua economy, but dairy cows and horse facilities are located around Joshua and everything from cutting horses to race horses are raised and trained nearby.
Willie Denton college was founded in 1899. At one time, students came from across the state to receive their educations in Joshua. In 1909, the land of Willie Denton College was turned over to the Joshua Independent School District.
The JISD has always been important to the city of Joshua and a great source of pride. In recent years, it has been considered one of the fastest growing school districts in Texas. The school system is also one of the major employers in the community.
Joshua residents are close enough to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex to enjoy the benefits of the city, yet far enough away to enjoy the rural setting. This gives Joshua residents the best of both worlds.
