Seven Lakes High School (commonly Seven Lakes, SLHS, or Spartans) is a public senior high school located in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas, United States in the vicinity of Katy-Gaston Road and Fry Road intersection in Land Use Zone 74. It is located just outside the Seven Meadows community and Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course and just inside the Cinco Ranch Southwest community. Many communities such as Seven Meadows, Grand Lakes, and Cinco Ranch are zoned to the school. While the school has a Katy address, it is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Houston, and is a high school of the Katy Independent School District (KISD).
The school was rated "Exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency for the 2008-2009 school year (the highest rating any public high school in Texas can attain). In 2016, the school was ranked 703rd in the nation out of 27,000 public high schools in the US by US News; The school was one of three winners of The Houston Chronicle's Chronicle Cup in 2008 for overall athletic performance.
The school was originally planned by Katy ISD to relieve overcrowding at Cinco Ranch High School and Katy High School and to better facilitate the influx of students due to new development planned in the general Katy area. The school plan was the same general design used for two other KISD schools, Morton Ranch High School and Cinco Ranch High School, and was designed by PBK Architects. The school's first year in operation was the 2005-2006 school year and had its first graduating class of 408 students in the 2007-2008 school year. The school was nominated a "National Blue Ribbon School Of 2008."
