History

T.M.I. was founded in 1893 by Right Reverend James “Steptoe” Johnston, D.D, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of West Texas. During its history, long by the standard of the Southwestern U.S., it has gone through the names West Texas School for Boys (name used for brief period only), West Texas Military Academy (1893-1926), Texas Military Institute (1926-2005), and T.M.I.: The Episcopal School of Texas (2005-). Despite its official name, T.M.I. is not the only Episcopal school in Texas; it is, however, the oldest one and the only Episcopal secondary school in the diocese. Although it is the one of the oldest military schools in the country, the JROTC, or Corps of Cadets, has been optional for girls since their admission in 1972, and for boys since 1974. 1893 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...
