ABOUT
Our Story
Houston Christian High School first opened its doors the summer of 1998...
to 207 students after a group of evangelical pastors decided to launch a school with the vision of providing rigorous, Christ-centered education for Houston families. Two years later, a forty-five acre tract of land on the West Sam Houston Parkway was gifted to the school and construction on our beautiful, collegiate-style campus began. Since that time, Houston Christian has grown in student population, campus facilities, and academic and extracurricular programming, fulfilling its mission of providing dynamic, empowering education to the Greater Houston Area.
