Our Future Is Calling
Our Capital Campaign, Our Future is Calling, honors the strategic plan that took into account the growth and successes of the past twenty-five years to frame the future. It recognizes not only the natural growth that should occur but also visionary changes that will allow HC to fulfill its mission uniquely and dynamically.
Our Capital Campaign initiatives lay out a clear plan to advance the school. Each of these initiatives required focus, planning, and investment. The focus and planning have happened, and now we need you to help accomplish the goals.

As a Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) school of the highest caliber, Houston Christian offers a valuable scholar athlete experience. HC is an important part of the prestigious statewide league.
