History

2007 Fire

The original Needville High School building was reported on fire at around 3:45 AM on April 24, 2007. 21 area fire departments responded but by 6:00 AM the building was still a fireball. As of 7:00 PM, the 1937 building was reduced to smoldering rubble with fire fighters and investigators still at the scene along with spectators. One computer lab, two mobile computer labs, three copiers, one Coke machine, and TAKS tests taken last week were lost to the fire.

The fire came in the wake of a $60 million bond issue, $49 million of which was earmarked for a new high school.

2018 Stoneman Douglas Walkout Suspensions

In the aftermath of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, the school received backlash after superintendent Curtis Rhodes threatened to suspend students who participated in walk out protests. [17] The school's Facebook page was subsequently taken down. [18]

2020 Mask Incident

After the George Floyd Protests of 2020, a student was asked to remove their "BLM Mask" as it could cause conflict with fellow pupils. However, this was not enforced for students who wore masks with messages in support of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Eventually, the school revised this ban to apply to all political messages, with only plain masks (surgical or cloth), or masks with the US flag, Texas flag, or the Needville High School logo. [19]
