Klein High School is a public high school located in Klein, Texas, United States, located approximately 30 miles (48 km) from Downtown Houston. It serves grades 9-12 in the Klein Independent School District.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 3,885 students and 228.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 17.0:1. There were 847 students (21.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 240 (6.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
In July 1928, five common school districts in the area were consolidated into Rural High School District Number One. The new district's high school building was located at what is now 7200 Spring-Cypress Road, between Kuykendahl Road and Stuebner Airline Road. This building is now behind the district's central office building. In 1938, Rural High School District Number One became Klein Independent School District, and its high school became Klein High School. The high school moved to its current location in 1963.
The old main building of Klein High School was demolished in 2010 to make way for construction of a completely new facility that will replace all existing buildings. All construction was completed by December 2014. Plans for the new campus are online (see reference).
Klein was the first high school established in the Klein Independent School District. It is accredited by the Texas Education Agency and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. 93% of the 2006 graduating class planned on attending college, receiving over $7 million in college scholarships.
Klein High School competes in district 15-6A along with Klein Oak, Klein Collins, and Klein Forest.
The Klein High School cheerleaders Nationals Team earned a National Championship at the 2006 NCA Senior and Junior High School National Championships in the Medium Varsity division, and also won a specialty award for Best Use of Jumps in the routine. The 2007 NCA National Championship was preceded by a regional title at the Texas Lone Star Classic and a state championship at the Texas State Championships for Division 5A schools. The cheerleading team has earned six National Titles at the NCA competition in the last 19 years including Grand Champions in 2000.
