Hebron High School is a high school in Carrollton, Texas, United States.

Opened in 1999 with only two grades, the school is a part of the Lewisville Independent School District. Located next to the border of Carrollton and Plano, the school serves students from grades 9-12. Students attend Hebron High School from portions of five surrounding cities in Denton County, Texas. Hebron prides itself in its balance of Academics and Athletics. It exports many Division I Athletes every year in many sports. Hebron is one of the top Academic Schools in the area and is firmly committed to the Advanced Placement Program, and exports many AP Scholars every year. The Football program is one of the elite in the state, and won the 4A State Championship in 2005. The Volleyball team is also a perennial playoff contender, winning the 4A State Championship in 2004. The Hebron Speech and Debate team is one of the most accomplished in the state, qualifying CX Teams and Individual Participants for the Texas Forensic Association State tournament.

In 2006, seventeen Hebron students were named National Merit commended students. Thirteen went on to become [http://www.lisd.net/communications/news/2007NationalMeritSemi.pdf National Merit Semi-Finalists] , the highest number in Hebron's history, and twelve of these thirteen have advanced to Finalist status. We would like to now announce our 2008 National Merit Semi-Finalists. They are as follows: Thomas Maples, Katrina Miguel, Christopher Rzeznik, and Travis Lagrone. Roy Atwood was commended. He missed being a semi-finalist by exactly one point.

Sports teams are nicknamed the Hebron Hawks (with Lady Hawks referring to women's sports) and the school colors are black, silver and blue. The official school mascots are Harry the Hawk.

Football players are encouraged to "Bring the Wood" (abbreviated BTW) by their coaches and a large plank of wood can be seen at football games with the phrase inscribed on its side. The popular slogan has earned Hebron's stadium the nickname "The Woodshed." "Bring the Wood" was invented by members of the 2000 Freshman Hawks Football team, also the first team to win a district championship in football winning the 2000 District 9-4A district championship for Freshman teams."

The hawk talon, raised in the air while singing the alma mater, is made by curling the index and middle finger in the air while bending the thumb toward the palm in a similar fashion and tucking the ring and pinky fingers into the palm completely.
