Klein High School is a public high school located in Klein a community in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, United States. Its location is an approximate 30 minute drive from downtown Houston. As a part of the Klein Independent School District, it offers a comprehensive curriculum for students in grades 9–12. [edit] History of Klein High SchoolIn 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[2]. The high school moved to its current location in 1961. Recently KHS fired 14 teachers due to low enrolment predictions and now the average class size is 35.

Klein High School competes in district 13-5A—new districting taking effect the 2008-2009 school year (formerly in district 16-5A) The Bearkat soccer team, headed by Coach John Lawhon, has won three state championships: 1997 (ranked #2 nationally), 1999 (National Champions) and 2005 (ranked #3 nationally). Coach Baker (2005 National High School Coach of the Year) has won over 600 games as a soccer coach, placing him in the top ten nationally among coaches. Klein made it again to the State finals in soccer in 2008, but lost to Flower Mound Marcus 3-0. This year (2008-2009) Klein High School is currently ranked 8th Nationally and is also a constant playoff contender year in and year out.[7] The boys baseball team is coached by Barry Smith. The team won the state championship in 1998, and routinely competes in the state playoffs year in and year out. The varsity football team is coached by Stan Labay. The 2008 team finished the season with a 4-4 record (4-3 in district play), and got into the playoffs with Klein Forest's win over Klein Collins. The Bearkats traveled to Lufkin in the first round of the playoffs, with the embarrassing 70+ point loss of 2 years ago fresh in their minds. The Bearkats after a less-than spectacular 1st half rallied to tie the game 22-22, but lost in the last 8 seconds from a caught touchdown pass 28-22. In the fall of 2007, the varsity tennis team coached by Holly Cannon defeated the defending state champion Plano West in regionals but proceeded to lose in the state tournament 10-9 to the eventual state champions. In 2008, the tennis team again won regionals but, like before, they lost in the state tournament. Johnathan Alexander and Lauren Santacroce won two consecutive Texas 5A State Mixed-Doubles Championships in 2007 and 2008 and finished with a combined two-year record of 57-0. In 2009, Klein has once again qualified for the state tournament. The school was District 2006 Athletic Champions in Volleyball, Girls Basketball, Team Tennis, Spring Tennis, Swimming, Boys Soccer and Girl’s Soccer.[3] [edit] MusicThe Klein High School full orchestra has been named the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) honor orchestra for 2007-2008.

[edit] The Future of Klein High SchoolDue to a bond election to be held on May 10, 2008, among many items affecting the district, in order to improve security and bring buildings up to code, 11 of KHS's 15 buildings have been proposed to be destroyed in 2011 in order to build a new, single building to replace the 11 destroyed ones. The plan is to move the staff and students to High School #5 (also proposed in the bond) and proceed with the project, and move them back to the new building in 2013. The cost is projected to be over $130 million, to be along with proposed high school #5 also at $130 million, putting these two schools as the most expensive high schools in the Houston area. The only other high school plan to come close is Cypress-Fairbanks plan for a new high school in 2011 at just under $100 million.[16] As stated earlier, the fate of those 11 buildings including the Main Building, Auditorium, Career Center, LTSC, Homemaking, Dance, High Rise, Aux Gym, Cafeteria & Commons, all T-buildings, and a 1971 addition to the main building, all were decided on May 10, 2008 with the passing of the bond by a close margin of 100 votes. The student population and residents in the KHS attendance zone have mixed feelings about the decision, wanting to preserve their school, but also realizing the need to replace the old sub-standard buildings.[17] [edit] Revision of New Klein High School ProjectAccording to KleinTouch, the proposed klein high school project had been put on hold during 2009 due to the economy and the repairs needed to be made at Epps Island Elementary from a fire. It is likely that the graduating class of 2012 would be the last class from the original Klein High School. The new Klein High School might open in the 2012-2013 school year making the class of 2013 the first graduating class from the new high school. As of now, Klein ISD had not published when they are going to resume the new high school project. [edit] Feeder schools
