School Notes:
  • Quest High School is a secondary school located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, near the city of Humble, in the Atascocita area. The school is in the Humble Independent School District.
  • It is a magnet school of choice, meaning that any student in the Humble Independent School District who will be attending grades 9-12 can attend, upon approval by the Quest staff.
  • Admissions: Any high school student who is a resident of the district who has not received a GED or high school diploma and is 21 years old or younger may attend Quest. A student interested in attending Quest completes an application and, along with his or her parents, meets with an interview team of staff members. Parents and students are asked to sign written contracts agreeing to the school's rules and requirements.
  • Grading system: All assignments submitted receive a grade from 0-4.
  • 0 - No Work Submitted 1 - Unsatisfactory 2 - Approaching Expectations 3 - Meeting Expectations 4 - Honors.
  • A '0' means that no work was submitted to the facilitator or no effort was made to complete the assignment. '1's signify that while work was submitted and effort was put forth, it does not come close to meeting the expectations set by the facilitator. '2's constitute that work was submitted, effort was put forth, and while expectations are not met the assignment comes close to meeting them. '3's mean that the assignment was submitted and met the teachers expectations. This is a passing grade. '4's show that the assignment not only met the expecations, but exceeded them. Having enough 4's in a class can earn the student an honors credit.
  • Integrated classes: Different traditional subjects such as English, history, math, and science are integrated into many parts of the Quest curriculum.
  • Some integrations are as follows: -Algebra I and IPC (Integrated Physics and Chemistry), to make IPC-AlgI -PreCalculus and Physics, to make Precal-Physics -English and History, to make EF.
  • Integrated classes are taught as one class. Each subject is taught hand in hand, used to compliment the other. For example, while studying ancient Greece in the history portion of EF, students will write a number of papers on various subjects pertaining to Greece that will be submitted to the English teacher for their EF class.
  • Every student in Quest has an EF class, corresponding to their grade level.
  • Family: There are nine "Families" in Quest.
  • Every family has a student from every grade level in them.
  • As each student is accepted into Quest, they are assigned to a Family. This will be their Family for the rest of their Quest career.
  • Over half an hour per day is spent in Family, following second period. On Wednesdays students will attend Family for an hour before performing service. After service, as of the '06-'07 school year, students participate in their selected "Focus Study" classes.
  • Many competitions are carried out through Family, such as volleyball tournaments or Pennies for Patients.
  • Houses: A house is made up of four normal sized classrooms with foldable walls in between. Usually each Family has half of a house to use for the Family hour. Many of the integrated classes use a half of a house, while most classes that aren't integrated only use a quarter of a house (or 1 normal classroom).
  • Service: Every Wednesday, every student attending Quest performs a service for the community from 3 to 3.5 hours a day. Most students assist teachers from other — mainly elementary — schools, assist in veterinary clinics, reenact the 1830s at Jesse Jones Park, or do service at other service sites throughout the community. After their service to the comunity they are treated to go eat to a resturant around the area that they have worked.
  • The picnic area outside the school was put in as an eagle project for Josh "GWAR" Scott.
  • Josh "GWAR" Scott also had his "Eagleacolypse" (Eagle ceremony) in the cafeteria.
