History
In 2018, Alvin ISD announced it would build another high school in Iowa Colony.[11]
It was scheduled to open on August 17, 2022,[5] with grades 9 and 10 at first; it will expand one more grade level per year until fall 2024.[6] The expected initial enrollment was 800. Ashley Marquez was the initial principal.[5] It will relieve Manvel High School.[12]
There was a previous Iowa Colony High School, located on Brazoria County Road 48 (then Chocolate Bayou Road), in 1912. It closed around the time Iowa Colony's school district became a part of Alvin ISD.[13]
Campus
The designed capacity is 2,500 students.[6]
