Humble ISD Board of Trustees held an important meeting on December 9, 2008.  The attendance boundaries for Summer Creek High School as well as those for Middle School #8 were decided upon and approved.  Although the meeting minutes do not make for exciting reading material, if you are the parent of a teenager in the Atascocita or Humble area, you will want to read on. 

The following are excerpts from the Humble ISD report:  With the opening of Summer Creek High School (SCHS) in 2009 and Middle School #8 (MS #8) in 2010, it has become necessary to adjust middle and high school attendance zones.  Beginning in April, 2008, the 8-member Citizens Boundary Advisory Committee (CBAC) began considering proposed boundaries for SCHS and MS #8.

Following the Community Input Meetings, the CBAC met and considered each of the 15 boundary options. Based on feedback gathered at the Community Input Meetings, enrollment projections, maps of the proposed middle and high school boundaries, the pros and cons for each option, and transportation costs, the CBAC developed and recommended CBAC Zoning Option 5.

CBAC Zoning Option 5 provides enrollment relief for Humble High School (HHS) and Atascocita High School (AHS), although the full effect of the enrollment relief won’t be felt the first two years Summer Creek High School (SCHS) is open.  (In 2009-10, SCHS will serve grades 9 and 10; students in grades 11 and 12 will attend the high school to which they are currently assigned. In 2010-11, SCHS will serve grades 9-11; students in grade 12 will attend the high school to which they are currently assigned.)

Enrollment at HHS is projected to drop from a projected enrollment of 2561 in 2008-09 to 2013 in 2011-12, and AHS is projected to drop from a projected enrollment of 3375 in 2008-09 to 2881 in 2011-12, the first year HHS, AHS, and SCHS all serve grades 9-12. In 2011-12, SCHS is projected to have an enrollment of 2091, increasing to approximately 3300 students in 2017. The permanent functional capacity of HHS is 2400 students, and the functional capacities of AHS and SCHS are 3200 students.
