Obra D. Tompkins High School (OTHS) is a high school located in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas in Greater Katy, within Greater Houston.[2] The school is part of the Katy Independent School District.

Tompkins was created to relieve the overflow of students in the neighboring Seven Lakes High School which had almost 4,000 students during the 2012–2013 school year. In August 2013, Tompkins opened with only freshman and sophomore classes but had students in grades 9-12 beginning in August 2015.

The school is named for Obra D. Tompkins, a long-serving educator in the Katy school district.[3] It is located off Falcon Landing Blvd. and Gaston Road at the edge of the Cinco Ranch Line. However, as Tompkins experienced an influx of students, the new Jordan High School (Fulshear, Texas) was created to alleviate the growing number of students.

Campus

Tompkins is a 610,000 square feet (57,000 m2) facility on a 98-acre (40 ha) plot and has a design almost exactly like that of Seven Lakes. The Tompkins campus may house around 4,000 students. Gilbane Building Co. built the school while PBK Architects designed the school.[3]
