High School
The St. Stephen’s high school, established in 1998, provides both a college-preparatory and Montessori environment for the students. The high school focuses on developing a student’s intelligence, social life, and overall wellness through rigorous curricular requirements.
High school activities are designed to develop students' communication and critical thinking skills. Students are challenged to meet deadlines based on individual academic ability, building self-confidence.
Students are encouraged to respect others by listening and understanding another student’s opinion and then learning more regarding their opinion through friendly debate. The school instills the understanding, respect, and appreciation for cultural and personal differences. In addition, the community is encouraged to share and discuss their cultural background and personal beliefs in relation to the world and life.
St. Stephen's competes in the Texas Christian Athletic League, and the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, in flag football, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. Every student is eligible to participate in the school’s athletics programs, and all students are encouraged to participate in at least one sport during.
The high school has been unable to achieve many awards for their sports teams; however, in the 2005 flag football season, the team achieved seven wins, with only one loss, and placed fourth in the post-season.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
