Alvin High School opened in 1894, with its first graduating class graduating in 1897. Alvin High School gained more residents as many school districts consolidated into Alvin ISD.

In the fall of 2002; the size of the school was the impetus for creating a second high school, [4] which would be Manvel High.

After the annexation of several school districts, ending with the Manvel Independent School District in 1973,[ citation needed ] Alvin High School as the sole high school in Alvin ISD. [5] It served the city of Manvel, the town of Iowa Colony, portions of the city of Pearland [6] (including the Brazoria County portion of Shadow Creek Ranch [7] ), and additional portions of unincorporated Brazoria County (including areas around Rosharon [ citation needed ]) until the opening of Manvel High School in 2006.
