Atascocita High School is a secondary school located in Atascocita CDP, a community housed in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, United States. AHS is a part of Humble Independent School District and serves the eastern part of the district and small portions of the city of Houston. AHS opened in August 2006, becoming the district's third traditional high school, and the first opened since 1979. Since its opening, it has been the district's largest high school in terms of enrollment. It's school colors are Red, White, and Blue, and it's mascot is the Eagle . History. From its opening, AHS dealt with its own overcrowding problem. During its second year of operation, the campus installed temporary trailer classrooms in one of the parking lots. The following year, a new wing on the east side of the campus was built, the cafeteria was expanded, and the temporary buildings were removed. Finally, in 2009, the district openedSummer Creek High School to serve the large Fall Creek and Summerwood subdivisions. Recently, AHS has again begun to experience an overcrowding issue. During the 2015–2016 school year, it built temporary trailer classrooms again in the parking lot of one of  the houses to make room for the influx of students. House system. The campus was originally designed around three communities named after the school's colors: Red, White, and Blue. Each community was divided into two houses: Red 1 and 2, White 1 and 2, Blue 1 and 2. After the school's overcrowding issues, a fourth community, the Gold Community, was added onto the east side of campus. Currently, freshmen attend classes in the Gold Community, while the upperclassmen are equally dispersed across the other three communities. The idea behind the house system is to have students attend their  classes within their houses, providing a smaller environment for students in a large high school. Each house is served by a counselor and an assistant principal. Each house is centered on a "flex area" and shares an LGI (large group instruction), a collegiate-style lecture hall, with its adjacent house. With the start of the 2018 school year, another part of gold was announced as Gold 3 due to overcrowding. After AHS became the first high school in the district to use the house system on such a large scale, Humble ISD renovated its two other high schools (Humble and  Kingwood) with the house system, and later opened Kingwood Park and Summer Creek high schools with the house system design.
