History

Harris County High School was founded in 1955, and was originally located on the current site of Harris County Carver Middle School until 1998. The new location of the school was built just west of town, where it stands today, and was completed in 1998.

The school was hit by an EF2 tornado in 2011, damaging the football field, gym, portions of the school roof, and numerous cars in the parking lot, as well as destroying the locker room adjacent to the football field. No injuries or fatalities occurred. [2]

gollark: Why not just make that webserver do TLS itself then?
gollark: (most of the cheap ones are SMR)
gollark: Backups are to a 5-year-old 1TB laptop disk because I cannot be bothered to order a new actual NAS disk and they're quite hard to attain now anyway.
gollark: If stuff comes up in the wrong order it breaks horribly, but it somehow always avoids doing that.
