Compete at Houston Christian

The Athletic Department of Houston Christian High School strives to strengthen the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of our students through a healthy development of competition and community.

It’s our goal that every student who wishes to play high school athletics receives a positive, quality experience. Houston Christian provides a place where students of any skill level can connect with their peers through Dynamic Sports Training and coaches.

Houston Christian is a member of the Southwest Preparatory Conference, which structures its league to allow students to play up to three sports per year during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Houston Christian offers 13 different sports, along with a strength and development coach who will provide personalized programs in our Harrell Family Strength and Conditioning Center.
