• 2. McKechnie "Mustang" Circle

  Mustang Circle is a central drop-off and pick-up location on the north side of campus. It is marked by a bronze sculpture of a mustang in the midst of a circular planting. The bronze Mustang sculpture, the centerpiece of Mustang Circle, was commissioned in 2005 and was crafted by noted Houston sculptor Ed Hankey. The Mustang stands nearly 10 feet tall. 
  
  The student body, faculty, and staff celebrated the unveiling of the new Mustang statue on Monday afternoon, March 5, 2007. The Mustang stands prominently on the north entrance of the campus. The statue is a gift from the HCHS parent community in recognition of the 2005 TAPPS 5A Baseball State Champions and nationally ranked high school baseball team - fourth place as reported by USA Today - as well as honoring the student body in the spirit of leadership, which the HCHS Mustang mascot represents.
  
  

  “Love is not paid back, it’s only passed on! The Founders of Houston Christian High School really believed that. When we got together to dream about sharing the love of Christ in the world of secondary education, we prayed, researched, recruited, hoped, and hustled. Was that start auspicious? Absolutely not! There were reasons for discouragement. Schedules were redrafted. Plans revised. Architects and engineers were challenged. Financing concerns were constant. Yet, the miraculous happened. The Lord provoked and provided. Today, this educational institution honors the Lord and enthusiastically emphasizes the academics, arts and athletics. Houston Christian High School is tangible proof that the love of Christ is not paid back, it is only passed on.”
  
  – The Rev. Dr. David G. McKechnie
