Iowa Colony High School
Iowa Colony High School is a senior high school in Iowa Colony, Texas. It is a part of the Alvin Independent School District (AISD) and is within the Alvin ISD Heritage Complex.

The school colors are black, hunter green, and silver. The mascot is Blaze the Ox, however the school body itself is represented by the title "Pioneers". It is adjacent to the 10,000-seat Alvin ISD facility Freedom Field.

The school serves almost all of Iowa Colony, and southern Manvel (portions of both places below Texas State Highway 6). Its boundary includes Meridiana.

History

In 2018, Alvin ISD announced it would build another high school in Iowa Colony.

It was scheduled to open on August 17, 2022, with grades 9 and 10 at first; it will expand one more grade level per year until fall 2024. The expected initial enrollment is 800. Ashley Marquez is the initial principal. It will relieve Manvel High School.

There was a previous Iowa Colony High School, located on Brazoria County Road 48 (then Chocolate Bayou Road), in 1912. It closed around the time Iowa Colony's school district became a part of Alvin ISD.

Campus

The designed capacity is 2,500 students.
