Quest Early College High School is a small secondary school located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, near the city of Humble and is a part of Humble Independent School District. As an early college high school, students can earn an associate's degree or hours of college credit toward a bachelor's degree through Lone Star College-Kingwood (LSC-Kingwood) along with a high school diploma.
Originally, Quest served the district as an alternative high school that offered students a smaller high school environment as opposed to the district's large high schools. The school also incorporated a non-traditional curriculum. However, in the fall of 2010, Quest was reformatted into an early college high school, with the Class of 2014 being the first students to go through the early college program.
Quest High School was located in the Community Learning Center from its opening in 1995 to 2009. In the 2009–2010 school year, Quest High School moved into the Summer Creek High School building. As part of the agreement between LSC-Kingwood and Humble ISD, Quest will make another move for the 2011–2012 school year to the new Lone Star College Atascocita Center.

“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)
