Houston Christian has been an incredible experience for our oldest and we intend for our other children to attend as well. It is academically challenging, but the faculty is extremely supportive. They want your child to do well and will support their efforts to excel. The sports and facilities are top notch with a blend of opportunities for everyone to participate and for those who can to achieve at the highest level as well.

My experience at Houston Christian High School has been one that I can not replace. I came into this school without knowing anyone besides my sister who was a senior at the time and it was a very welcoming community despite the fact that I had no clue who anyone was. I've had lots of laughs with friends and teachers and have even met some people who I will definitely keep in contact with for the rest of my life.

Houston Christian hopes to retain 525 students. It currently has 476 plus or minus. Some sports have to beg kids to join so they can have a team. I believe the reason HC year after year cannot fill the seats is endemic discrimination. The administration targets certain students. Families leave the s...

My best times at this school came from individual teachers, mentors, and friends. It's possible to make the best out of every situation one encounters, but your child should not have to "make the best" of their high school experience. I do not regret choosing Houston Christian, but I am not proud to...
