Kashmere High School
Kashmere High School is a secondary school in Houston, Texas that serves grades 9 through 12; it is a part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). It is located in the Trinity Gardens neighborhood, and its namesake is the nearby Kashmere Gardens neighborhood.
Kashmere contains the Conrad O. Johnson School of Fine Arts, an HISD magnet-school program.
Kashmere High School opened in 1957 at Hirsch Road at Kelly Street. In 1968, Kashmere moved to a new campus at 6900 Wileyvale Road, and the Hirsch Kelley campus became Key Middle School.
In 2013, the North Forest Independent School District was annexed into HISD. Portions, including Settegast, were rezoned from North Forest High School (the only remaining comprehensive high school in NFISD) to Kashmere.
By 2016, Kashmere underwent remodeling. The total cost was $19,000,000, and the remodeled campus opened in 2018.
The school got failing grades in state accountability measures in the period 2013–2016, so the Texas Education Agency appointed Doris Delaney as the conservator of Kashmere High. In 2019, the school got a passing score, but got failing scores in 2022.
From about 2008 until 2016, the school had four principals and one interim principal.
HISD superintendent Abelardo Saavedra attempted to demote one principal, but the board of education reversed his decision. Saavedra's successor, Terry Grier, fired that principal.
