It is part of the Hudson Independent School District located in central Angelina County. For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given a B by the Texas Education Agency. In December 2021, Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) announced Hudson High School as a Distinguished High School Program partner.

Band
The school's band has a unique relationship with the nearby Apple Springs Independent School District.

Apple Springs participates in six-man football but does not offer a band program, while Hudson has a band but does not participate in football. Therefore, the Hudson band participates at Apple Springs games. The unusual relationship was filmed by the crew of the popular Texas Country Reporter.
