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.[2]

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".[3] It is adjacent to the 10,000-seat Alvin ISD facility Freedom Field.[4]

The school serves almost all of Iowa Colony, and southern Manvel (portions of both places below Texas State Highway 6).[5][6][7] Its boundary includes Meridiana.[8]

History[edit]

In 2018, Alvin ISD announced it would build another high school in Iowa Colony.[9]

It was scheduled to open on August 17, 2022,[3] with grades 9 and 10 at first; it will expand one more grade level per year until fall 2024.[4] The expected initial enrollment is 800. Ashley Marquez is the initial principal.[3] It will relieve Manvel High School.[10]

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.[11]

Campus[edit]

The designed capacity is 2,500 students.[4]
