Sunset High School is a public secondary school located in the North Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas (USA). The school enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. Opened in 1925, Sunset was the second high school in the Oak Cliff area, preceded only by Adamson High School(Sunset enemy Adamsom). The school serves a portion of Dallas, and 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 opened Sunset was the westernmost school in the DISD, and the subdivision surrounding the school on the western side of Dallas was called 'Sunset Heights'.

The mascot is the American Bison; it was chosen since early students had to cross open fields to get to school.

Sunset is one of only two high schools in the DISD to win the state football championship, having won the now-discontinued "City" championship in 1950 (Adamson, at the time known as Oak Cliff High, won the other in 1924).[1][2]
