Fulshear High School opened for its inaugural year in Fall 2016.
The campus was named after Churchill Fulshear, Jr. The Fulshear family was one of the original 300 families to settle in Texas. Churchill Fulshear, Jr. fought in the Texas War for independence against Mexico. He was also present during General Santa Anna's surrender. He helped to bring progress to the area by donating land to allow the railroad to bring service through the area. The last family member moved away from Fulshear in 1937, but their legacy remains strong in the area. As is evident by our mascot choice, Churchill Fulshear, Jr. loved horses, especially race horses. He built a horse track called Churchill Downs in Fort Bend. He was fiercely independent and a true Texan. We are proud to be named after such a strong figure in Fulshear's history.

The campus opened with a freshmen and sophomore class only and will grow to add a grade level each year, with our first graduating class being the Class of 2019.
