Shadow Creek High School is a public senior high school in the Shadow Creek Ranch area of Pearland, Texas, in Greater Houston. A part of the Alvin Independent School District (AISD), SCHS was established in 2016. The mascot is the shark.

The school was named after its location in Shadow Creek Ranch.[1] It is on 72 acres (29 ha) of land;[2] the three story, 520,000-square-foot (48,000 m2) structure is the district's third comprehensive high school.[3]

History

It was originally known as "High School 3" but members of Alvin ISD's board of trustees approved the current name in February 2014.[1] Gamma Construction built the facility; the scheduled beginning of construction was February 2014, and it was completed in August 2016.[2]

Athletics

As of 2016 volleyball was the most prominent sport since the school did not yet have a varsity-level American football team.[4]
