Iowa Colony High School is a senior high school in Iowa Colony, Texas. It is a part of the Alvin Independent School District (AISD) and is within the Alvin ISD Heritage Complex.[1]
The school colors are black, hunter green, and silver. The mascot is Blaze the Ox, however the school body itself is represented by the title "Pioneers".[2] It is adjacent to the 10,000-seat Alvin ISD facility Freedom Field.[3]
The school serves almost all of Iowa Colony, and southern Manvel (portions of both places below Texas State Highway 6).[4][5][6] Its boundary includes Meridiana.[7]
History
In 2018, Alvin ISD announced it would build another high school in Iowa Colony.[8]
It was scheduled to open on August 17, 2022,[2] with grades 9 and 10 at first; it will expand one more grade level per year until fall 2024.[3] The expected initial enrollment is 800. Ashley Marquez is the initial principal.[2] It will relieve Manvel High School.[9]
There was a previous Iowa Colony High School, located on Brazoria County Road 48 (then Chocolate Bayou Road), in 1912. It closed around the time Iowa Colony's school district became a part of Alvin ISD.[10]
Campus
The designed capacity is 2,500 students.[3]
