San Jacinto High School (Texas)
- San Jacinto High School (Texas)
San Jacinto High School was a secondary school located at 1300 Holman in Houston, Texas.
San Jacinto High School was located in the area now known as Midtown. The school was established in 1926 after Central High School, which was located near Downtown Houston, was closed. From 1927 until 1934, the campus was also the first home to Houston Junior College, which eventually became the University of Houston.
In 1962 a technical program was added to the campus. The neighborhood program ended in 1971, and the technical program was abolished in 1985. High School for the Performing and Visual Arts was housed at San Jacinto from 1971 to 1981. Houston Community College System purchased the school grounds. The San Jacinto Memorial Museum is on the school grounds.
