The City of Cedar Hill located in southwest Dallas County on U.S. Highway 67, was named for the stand of cedar trees along Mountain Creek and along the hills of Cedar Mountain. This area borders a portion of the white rock escarpment, 300 mile-long cliff formation that runs through central Texas from the Red River, between Texas and Oklahoma, to just south of Austin.
|
| It is a magnificent setting along what was the Old Chisholm Trail. Cedar Hill is 841 feet above sea level, the highest point in Dallas County, and the highest point between Dallas and Galveston. The city offers one of the most beautiful views in Dallas County and easy access to Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and other growing suburban areas. |

Tobacco Free Zone
All Cedar Hill ISD facilities are a tobacco free zone.
Cedar Hill ISD Student Code of Conduct states that students are prohibited at school and all school-related activities to possess or use tobacco products. Discipline will be designed to improve conduct and to encourage students to adhere to their responsibilities as members of the school community. Disciplinary action will draw on the professional judgment of teachers and administrators and on a range of discipline management techniques. Unless a specific discipline is required elsewhere in the Student Code of Conduct, discipline will be correlated to the seriousness of the offense, the student's age and grade level, the frequency of misbehavior, the student's attitude, the effect of the misconduct on the school environment, and statutory requirements. Because of these factors, discipline for a particular offense (unless otherwise specified by law) may bring into consideration varying techniques and responses.
