The Woodlands College Park High School is a high school in The Woodlands, CDP area of Montgomery County, Texas, in the United States.^[3] It is operated by the Conroe Independent School District (CISD), and is one of the six main high schools in the district.

Opened in the fall of 2005, it enrolls students from grades 9 to 12. The school operates on a seven-period day and, in some cases, offers zero- and eighth-hour periods before and after school, respectively. College Park is also home to the Conroe ISD Academy of Science and Technology, a science- and technology-based magnet program.

In addition to sections of The Woodlands, it serves portions of Shenandoah.^[4]^[5]

History

The school opened in August 2005,^[6] and had a cost of $80 million. The Academy of Science and Technology, previously housed at Oak Ridge High School, moved to College Park when College Park opened, since Oak Ridge needed more space for its zoned students.^[7] College Park had grades 9 through 11 in its first year, with grade 12 being established the following year.^[8] As the school opened, prospective incoming students were given the choice of remaining at The Woodlands High School or going to College Park.^[9]

Campus

The three-story school building has 350,000 square feet (33,000 m²) of space. There is a main entrance with four pillars and a clock tower on top and separate gymnasium and auditorium entrances. Carissa D. Mire of the Houston Chronicle stated that the clock tower is similar to the one in Back to the Future.^[10]

Academics

For each school year, the Texas Education Agency rates school performance using an A–F grading system based on statistical data. For 2018–2019, the school received a score of 92 out of 100, resulting in an A grade. The school received a similar score of 90 the previous year.^[11]

Athletics

College Park's mascot is the Cavalier. College Park Cavaliers competes in football, baseball, basketball (boys and girls), track (boys and girls), cross county (boys and girls), soccer (boys and girls), wrestling (boys and girls), softball, tennis (boys and girls), golf (boys and girls), volleyball, and bowling. They once had a hockey team, but the school disbanded it in 2010.

Various programs have seen statewide success over the years; College Park's football team went undefeated in the 2007 regular season, and had a state-ranked defense in the 2013 season. The tennis team has been state-ranked multiple times. The boys basketball team was nationally ranked in 2013 and went to state, but lost to the also nationally ranked Atascocita High School. The Cavaliers bowling team won state in 2013. Boys soccer was nationally ranked and went to state in 2019, but lost the state championship against soccer powerhouse Lee High School. The women's cross county team competed in the state championships in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, placing in the top 15 all 12 years. The women's volleyball team went state-ranked in 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, and were within the top 25 teams nationally in 2011.

The school's hockey team used a rink at Bear Branch Park from 2008 to 2010.^[12]
