Humble High School

==History==
Before 1918, students attended a single building, the Humble School, which housed grades 1-11. The first high school graduates in Humble graduated from this school in 1911.

The first school building, Humble High School, opened in 1918 on Higgins Avenue.<ref>{{cite book|last=Meaux|first=Robert|title=History of the Schools in Humble ISD|year=2011}}</ref> In 1929, it was relocated to a new building, next door, as [[Charles Bender High School]].

It became Humble High School again and moved to its present location at 1700 Wilson Road, in 1965.<ref name="Archived copy">{{Cite web |url=http://www.humbleisd.net/22672034101654880/blank/browse.asp?A=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&C=80706|title=Humble ISD |access-date=2010-09-04 }} {{dead link|date=August 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jGcdAgAAQBAJ&q=%22Humble+High+School%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA91 |title = Humble|isbn = 9781467131001|year = 2013}}</ref> The original Charles Bender High School building still stands on Higgins Avenue. The original 1918 Humble High School building was demolished in 1955.

Until 2007, ninth grade students attended the Humble Ninth Grade Campus, adjacent to the Humble High campus at 1131 Wilson Road. That building was refurbished into Ross Sterling Middle School in 2007, and the ninth graders moved into the newly completed freshman annex at the high school.

===Student enrollment===

Before the opening of [[Atascocita High School]] in 2006, HHS had a population of over 5,000 students. Clearly overcrowded, AHS was opened to meet the large population growth in the Atascocita area. Continued growth in the southern portion of the district led to the opening of [[Summer Creek High School]] in 2009. This caused Humble to be reclassified as a 4A school by the UIL in 2010 with a fall 2010 enrollment of 1,651 students.<ref>http://www.uiltexas.org/files/alignments/fb-bb-4a-2010.pd{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name="Archived copy"/>

===2007 Renovation===

After the opening of AHS, Humble High School underwent a major makeover in 2007. The school was reformatted with six houses (similar to format used by AHS) to give students more personalized attention. Renovations also allowed HHS to comply with the Texas Education Agency's standards for class size. Bond funds paid for a new two-story classroom wing to replace the 40-year-old classroom wing. The school gained 15 science classrooms, three teaching theaters, seven business labs, practice areas for dance and drill team, and a new black box theater. Throughout the school, there is new carpet and paint. New electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning systems were installed. In total, {{convert|103000|sqft|m2|-2}} was added and {{convert|355000|sqft|m2|-2}} was renovated.

On 30 October 2020, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for a major renovation to the school. The renovations at HHS include a modern cafeteria, library, performing arts theatre, a Career and Technical Education wing and athletics wing. The final point will see the creation of a competition and auxiliary gym. It is planned to be completed by August 2022 and will increase the campus size by just over 63,000 square feet to nearly 552,000 total square feet.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-10-30|title=Humble ISD breaking ground on new schools|url=https://cw39.com/news/humble-isd-breaking-ground-on-new-schools/|access-date=2020-11-05|website=CW39 Houston|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Mehrtens|first=Savannah|date=2020-10-30|title=Humble ISD breaks ground on new middle school near Beltway 8|url=https://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/humble/news/article/Humble-ISD-breaks-ground-on-new-middle-school-15689184.php|access-date=2020-11-05|website=HoustonChronicle.com|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Humble ISD Breaks Ground on Middle School #10 and Renovations fo|url=https://www.kingwood.com/msg/humble-isd-breaks-ground-middle.php?p=3509779|access-date=2020-11-05|website=www.kingwood.com|language=en}}</ref>
