History

The school was originally planned by Katy ISD to relieve overcrowding at Cinco Ranch High School and Katy High School and there was new development being planned in the general Katy area. The school was planned out to use the same general design of two previous KISD schools, Morton Ranch High School and Cinco Ranch High school and was designed by PBK Architects. The school opened for its first school year in the 2005-2006 school year. [Bretting, Sandra.

Background

The school is located in the Katy Independent School District, and has the distinction of being the largest high school construction project at one time in the state of Texas. [ [http://kisdwebs.katyisd.org/Communications/fact/Pages/default.aspx KatyISD - Communications ] ] Seven Lakes was designed by PBK Architects, as were many other area schools. [http://www.educationdesignshowcase.com/view.esiml?pid=64 Education Design Showcase Project ] ] It is also the second largest, as well as the most expensive, in the United States to be built at one time. The total cost of the school came around to $77,424,704 after construction was complete. The name of the school is derived from two major communities that are zoned to it, Seven Meadows and Grand Lakes, taking "Seven" from the name of the Seven Meadows community and "Lakes" from the name of the Grand Lakes community.
