Frassati Catholic High School is a private, Catholic coeducational secondary school located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, near the Spring CDP and in Greater Houston. Frassati Catholic High School is administered by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation from Nashville, TN.
History
Frassati Catholic High School was established in 2013 to an initial freshmen (9th grade) class after several years of planning. In 2014, the school welcomed its second class of students. The school serves areas north of Houston that previously did not have a Catholic high school option.[2]
In July of 2011, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo announced that the new high school would be named after Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, Man of the Beatitudes. Saint John Paul II said that Blessed Pier Giorgio, "shows that we can be holy by living our friendships, studies, sports, and service to the poor in a constant relationship with God."
In August of 2012, the school broke ground for its first academic building on its 63 acre campus in Spring, Texas. In the summer of 2013, Phase 1A of the campus was completed, and the school welcomed its founding freshmen class in August 2013.
Frassati Catholic High School has a unique Ethics & Culture curriculum designed to prepare its students to be leaders in today's society. Over their four years, students at Frassati Catholic take courses on business ethics, bioethics, politics, and social justice.
Inspired by the school's patron, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, Man of the Beatitudes, the goal of Frassati Catholic High School is for every person involved with the high school — faculty, staff, parents, students, benefactors, and friends — to know the happiness for which God has created them.
Sports
Frassati Catholic High School offers several sports including volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, tennis, and track & field. The school will add additional sports as it grows based on student interest. Almost 80% of Frassati Catholic's student body participates in athletics.
