History
In 1984, Fort Bend ISD authorized a bond issue. This allowed the construction of the fourth high school in Fort Bend ISD.
The school board chose Wayne Emerson to be the first Kempner principal. Kempner opened its doors to the first Open House on August 30, 1988; the campus was occupied in September of that year. The $15,522,300 school contained 55.88 acres (226,100 m2) of pecan trees, a 750 seat auditorium, and 100 faculty and staff members.
In 1990, Kempner's first senior class graduated.
When Kempner first opened, the area surrounding it was isolated. Since then, the school has witnessed immense growth. With houses across the street, Kempner is a neighborhood school.
