In 1993, project GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) was founded at Davis High. The program provides scholarships to students as incentive to complete high school and enroll in college.[5]
Prior to 1996 it was renovated through the Renewal A bond program, which spent $5.5 million on Davis. In 1996 it had 1,800 students.[6]
Campus
In 1996 the school had terrazzo floors. At the time it had one temporary building used for classes and two others for other purposes; it had a fewer number compared to some other schools because it was not overcrowded. In 1996 Terry Kliewer of the Houston Chronicle praised the building's features and maintenance, and stated that it "exemplifies what is possible when an old building gets good maintenance and timely remodeling."[6]
