It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! As the weather changes, our students are steadfastly preparing for finals and counting down the days until Christmas. Our wonderful parents have decorated Christmas trees in every building and hung ornaments from the Founder's Circle tree. We remember the true meaning of this holiday season, with a nativity scene in the Pampell Chapel. It’s a festive, yet thoughtful, environment that reminds us of the spirit of Christmas!
In honor of the school's 20th year, the Fine Arts Christmas "Carol of the Bells" Concert and Art showcase was also an opportunity to mix and mingle with hot chocolate and cookies! A Blue Norther’ blew in that afternoon, providing just the right weather for hot cocoa and Christmas carols! Our talented students have also been asked to perform all over the city, showcasing their musical talent in the
River Oaks Shopping Center
, Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, and an upcoming showcase in CityCentre’s courtyard (December 13th @ 5 pm).
This year's fall play took place in Grover's Corners as our students brought alive the story of "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder in Houston Christian’s black box theater in November. The 1938 play is as relevant today as it was in the year it was written. Our boys basketball team finished their season strong and won the annual Mustang Classic tournament, hosted here at HC. The boys beat Bishop Lynch (Dallas), the #1 ranked private school in the state of Texas, for the Championship! Go Mustangs!
Our seniors are eagerly watching their inboxes as college acceptances are starting to roll in! Our students are getting into many of their first choice schools and receiving very generous scholarship offers. Houston Christian students have been recognized as well-prepared and motivated students. Thank you, alumni, for helping make that reputation known!
As the fall semester is wrapping up we are looking forward to even more 20
th
Anniversary celebration events that are coming up in the new year! We hope you will join us!
From Houston Christian, we wish you all a
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

As a 2006 graduate of Houston Christian High School, I can summarize my experience in one word: active. Many days were spent on campus before the sun came up and departing after the sun had set. That said, my time at Houston Christian defined my world-view and work-ethic. Today as the Co-Founder of BrightCatch Media (Houston) and former Director of Marketing & Public Relations at Houston Ballet, I am able to reflect and appreciate the encouragement and ‘push’ in the classroom, on the court (and stage) to do more, work harder, focus. And while the media, marketing and advertising industry is not directly taught in the classroom, the values, drive, communication and leadership skills required to succeed in an industry that changes by the day were instilled and refined by Houston Christian faculty and staff. I look forward to seeing the continued growth of the school and success of each graduating class.
Christian started his own marketing agency, Bright Catch Media and has years of experience working with Houston organizations. His family includes his wife Laurelle and their two children, Colton and Annie.
