History
Travis High School is named after Texas pioneer William B. Travis. The campus opened on August 21, 2006 and received its dedication on October 15 of the same year.[5]
The opening of Travis relieved Austin High School and George Bush High School,[6] with grades 9 and 10 immediately zoned to Travis,[7] and grades 11 to 12 continuing to go to Austin with a phaseout of one grade per year.[8] Travis became Fort Bend ISD's tenth high school.
The school's student council is known for bringing dogs in for stress relief dogs prior to exam week.[9]
