History: The Colony High School, built in The Colony, Texas, opened in 1986 as part of Lewisville ISD. Because the seniors were attending Lewisville High School, TCHS initially had only grades 9-11. The last and largest class of 1999 at TCHS had many accomplishments that remain literally etched in stone on the bricks located near the bus pick-up/drop-off area. Hebron High School was built in 2000, which drew many students from TCHS.
Today: The Colony High School has since become one of the premier high schools in the district. Its fine arts program has received numerous awards on a national level. Physically, the school continues to evolve. A new gym was added in 2004, which combined with the two existing gyms to provide the students with state-of-the-art recreational environments. Additionally, a college level weight room dubbed the "Powerhouse" was built and furnished with a gold and black weight set and steel bars (the colors are the school colors).
