History

The original regional grade school, then called Area Private School, opened in 1850 at what is now the Church Of Christ In Montgomery. [2] [3] After the creation of Montgomery ISD, the first high school opened in 1931 at what is now Montgomery Elementary School, just south of town on State Road 149. A new campus was built on a different site in 1967 west of town on Highway 105, where the school still currently stands. A huge increase in local population caused the school to be expanded in 1998 and again in 2005. After reaching well above maximum occupancy due to a massive influx of new residents, Montgomery High School split with a new high school, Lake Creek High School, which opened in 2018. [4]

In 2019, a hazing assault by members of the school's varsity football team occurred on several younger players, who were "violated in some way with crutches, pool cues, or sports drink bottles." [5] [6] The school forfeited the following football game and the suspects received informal probation. [5] [7]

The school closed two days early for spring break in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic as it spread through Montgomery County. [8]
