What Crosby High School does

Crosby High School is a public secondary school (grades 9-12) that operates as a campus within Crosby Independent School District (CISD), a government entity serving approximately 7,000 students across seven campuses in Crosby, Texas (Harris County), east of Lake Houston. The high school is led by Principal Brad Hadnot and operates from 7:05am to 2:55pm at 333 Red Summit Dr., Crosby, TX. The district is governed by an elected Board of Trustees under the oversight of the Texas Education Agency, with Dr. Paula Patterson serving as Superintendent.

The school's core educational offering includes standard academic instruction for grades 9-12, Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that produced 409 industry certifications for the Class of 2026, college and career readiness programming, special education services, bilingual/ESL support, and extracurricular activities including athletics, JROTC, band, and FFA. Technology infrastructure is built on standard educational platforms — Schoology (LMS), Skyward (Student Information System), Microsoft 365, Google Sites, Apple MacBooks distributed to students, and Eduphoria for educator tools — with no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and no API or SDK exposure documented.

As a public school district, Crosby ISD does not charge tuition for in-district students. Funding flows from local property taxes, state education funding (including House Bill 3 allocations), federal funding (including ESSER III), and supplemental scholarship fundraising through the Crosby Education Foundation (over $500,000 raised via the annual Jared Jamail Memorial Golf Classic). The district has been designated a District of Innovation, granting local flexibility from certain Texas Education Code requirements. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the district website.
