In July 1928, the present boundary lines of the school district were established with the consolidation of five common school districts and the official name became Rural High School District Number One. The district, nearly 88 square miles in size, became one of the largest districts in land area in Harris County. In 1938, the school district was renamed the Klein Independent School District in honor of Adam Klein.

Many Klein ISD schools are also named after the settlers who once toiled the land. As far back as the 1970s, the district has honored the community’s forefathers by naming schools after original families from our area.

The growth of the area was very slow and steady; most of the residents were farmers, ranchers, and dairy farmers. In 1966, the stage was set for exciting changes in the district when thousands of acres of land were purchased for residential construction. Prior to this time, there were no large city-like subdivisions located within the boundaries of the district.

In the 1970-71 school year, there were 2,744 students enrolled in Klein Schools. The current enrollment is in excess of 54,000 students.
