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:
“Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
