Nichelle Nichols was an American actress, singer, and trailblazer. In 1966, Nichols was cast as Lieutenant Commander Uhura in Star Trek, which marked one of the first times that an African American actress was portrayed in a non-stereotypical role on television. In 1975, Nichols established Women in Motion, Inc., a company that produced educational materials using music as a teaching tool and was expanded to become an astronaut recruitment tool after Nichols won a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This resulted in thousands of women and minorities applying to NASA’s space program such as Sally Ride, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, and Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman Nichols' impact on both popular culture and the scientific community has been profound, solidifying her legacy as a pioneer for racial equality and representation in media and beyond.

School History

The D. Fabian Middle School was named after clarinet teacher Deborah Fabian for the impact she had on the students at the University of North Texas through her work as a clarinet professor. Founded in 1983, the D. Fabian Middle School band has grown to 200 students and competes in festivals and concerts around the DFW metroplex. We're the only middle school in FISD and we're a growing district! As our city grows we hope to also grow our band program and provide enriching opportunities for the students within our classes.
