Victor H. Hexter
Established in 1954 — serving the White Rock community with an outstanding education for over 70 years.
A Tradition of Excellence
Victor H. Hexter Elementary School was established by the Dallas Independent School District in 1954, and through the years has provided thousands of White Rock area children with an outstanding education.
Hexter's tradition of excellence in teaching and learning, consistent parental involvement, and strong community partnerships support our mission of preparing all students to be college ready. The culture within Hexter enables students to master the academic knowledge and social-emotional skills necessary to become future leaders. Each of these attributes has great merit on its own, but it is the combination of these strengths that has allowed Hexter to achieve the Texas Education Agency's Exemplary rating year after year and to be named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
Hexter's dedication to excellence evolves from our shared conviction that each child brings something unique to the world, that each child matters, and that each child carries our hope for the future.

About Victor H. Hexter
Our school is named for Victor Henry Hexter, a prominent Dallas attorney and civic leader whose legacy of public service helped shape our city.
Mr. Hexter was born on March 21, 1864, in Baltimore, Maryland. After earning his law degree in Memphis, Tennessee, he moved to Dallas in 1887 to practice law. From the beginning of his time in Dallas, he was deeply involved in the community and advocated for civic programs and responsible local government.
He served two terms as a Dallas city councilman and was elected president of the Dallas Board of Education in 1907. His commitment to education, public service, and community leadership left a lasting impact on Dallas. Mr. Hexter died in Dallas on January 25, 1951, but his legacy continues to be honored through the school that bears his name.
