Huntsville ISD has made massive changes in improving all schools in the last few years. The high school will go through major renovations over the next few years with millions being invested into the high school. This is made possible by community support, the board of trustees, and staff lead by a rockstar of a superintendent. Our high achieving student has great opportunities.

Huntsville high school is a really good school to be part of. Being a graduate from huntsville high school and looking back I am really pleased with the location of the school and the spirit that the school has. Huntsville high school is a small school where students can get the one on one learning with the teacher, and the sport are amazing. The school is small but it has a lot of heart.

For the sake of your child's life and education, do not send him or her to HISD.
