Established in 1968, Kashmere High School serves high school students from both Trinity-Houston and Kashmere Gardens. This recently renovated Houston Independent School District campus offers robust educational and extracurricular programming, from the Futures Academy of Computer Engineering Technology and the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) magnet program to theater and fine arts. All students at Kashmere High are enrolled in the STEM curriculum thanks to the school-wide magnet program. For students who’d like to take their studies to the next level, the Futures Academy of Computer Engineering Technology or Futures Academy of Graphic Design may be the perfect fit. These dual-credit programs allow students to simultaneously earn high school and college credit. Kashmere High is also a hub for the arts, offering fine arts, graphic design and theater classes as part of the school’s performing and visual arts magnet program. For nearly a decade, Kashmere High School was on the state’s list of campuses in need of improvement. That changed in the 2018-2019 school year when Kashmere High earned a passing rating, removing the campus’ “Improvement Required” status. Today, Kashmere High's principal says they’re hard at work to “continue onward and upward.”

Kashmere High School is not what everyone says it is. The school is actually not that bad it honestly is a pretty alright school. Even though it isn't very organized but it still overall it isn't that bad. There are good and bad parts but more good and it is a good and fun school to attend.

The best part about Kashmere Highschool would be the teachers who can relate a lot with the students. The teachers here are social and understanding with the students. The worst part about Kashmere would be the students and culture. Most of the students don't put in real effort to study or do homework.
