Support HC

Invest in Education

It is visionaries such as yourself that has made Houston Christian High School into what it is today.

Houston Christian High School was founded on vision and philanthropy. Each goal that has been reached was possible through the financial support of a person, or people, who supported the vision for this school. Words can never express the gratitude to the founders and early funders who saw the future of this school. From a 45-acre mulch-field to a well-designed and beautiful high school campus, we have much to be grateful for and many to thank.

Each year, Houston Christian receives applications from students actively seeking a Christian education, with small classes, nurturing environment and the other distinctive attributes of this school. Our goal is to provide this opportunity to all who actively seek it, but we are limited in the available funds that we can provide. Some donors have given to endowments, but this is an annual fundraising endeavor as our applicants’ and current students’ needs change each year.

Annual Support

Tuition covers almost the cost of educating each student. These fundraising programs allow Houston Christian to enhance each students’ experience while also providing our families with their own opportunity to give to the areas and programs that resonate, while supporting their own students’ goals.

The Mustang Fund (HC's Annual Fund drive), the Auction/Gala, the Mustang Classic Golf Tournament and the Indexed Tuition program all provide a clear vision of HC's annual needs.
These goals are in direct alignment with the mission and vision of the school and help deliver the education that grows and enhances our students and our community.

Ways to Engage

List of 8 items.

  • Annual Fund: The Mustang Fund

    Gifts to the Mustang Fund (HC's Annual Fund) work immediately to support all areas of the school, including academics, fine arts, athletics, student activities, faculty professional development, leadership programs, facilities, financial aid, and more. Tuition and fees cover 90% of the cost to educate each student and to provide outstanding facilities and resources that help our students excel. The school relies heavily on gifts to the Mustang Fund to make up the difference.
