  • Houston High School (grades 9-12)

The district is also the fiscal agent for the Exceptional Child Cooperative, serving 13 area districts with special education specialists.

OUR PURPOSE

The goal of our district is to empower individuals to meet their life goals. To accomplish this commitment it is necessary for students, staff, and the community members to be collectively involved in ensuring the Houston R-1 School District is an authentic learning environment.  Our decisions, and our actions, are guided by an unceasing search for sustained excellence, to ensure our students develop into responsible and informed citizens.

OUR COMMUNITY

Houston, Mo., is a small town where you’ll know your teachers, administrators and community leaders personally. Yet large enough as the county seat of Missouri’s biggest county geographically to have the perks most towns of 2,000 lack.

Exceptional community support includes the passing of two bond issues the past decade (2013 and 2021), including the most recent that allowed for construction of the $6.5 million Tiger Fieldhouse. Local booster organizations as well as the business community strongly support our athletic programs and organizations. Houston is a thriving community located on U.S. 63. The area boasts many amenities including: Texas County Memorial Hospital; a beautiful city-owned golf course; new aquatic center/pool; access to the Big Piney River; a branch of Drury University; drive-in movie theater; multiple city youth sports programs; and many locally owned businesses and restaurants. 

We encourage you to visit our campus and see for yourself why Houston is where you’ll feel at home!
