History[]

Before the school was built, Humble ISD board members agreed to scale down the building's design. The school was scheduled to allow other Humble ISD students who wish to attend a high school smaller than the ones they are zoned to transfer to KPHS.[2]

Location and features[]

The school is located at 4015 Woodland Hills Drive, the former location of the Kingwood High School Ninth Grade Campus. The building was expanded to include a new gymnasium, a $25 million natatorium, auditorium, dance practice rooms, a wrestling arena, multi-purpose rooms, two large group instruction rooms, new state-of-the-art classrooms, and expanded administrative offices.

The school's campus is bisected by the Harris County, Texas / Montgomery County, Texas line. The campus lies partially in both counties.
