KATY, TX [July 1, 2024] – Seven Lakes High School has clinched second place in this year’s University Interscholastic League (UIL) Lone Star Cup — marking the highest finish ever for a Katy ISD high school.

“Our school culture is built on excellence in academics, athletics and fine arts, and our standing in the Lone Star Cup reflects that attitude,” said Seven Lakes High School Principal Kerri Finnesand. “I am beyond proud of our students and teachers for their many accomplishments throughout last school year.”

Seven Lakes is the top-ranked 6A high school in the greater Houston area and has impressively finished in the top 10 for three consecutive years. In 2015, Seven Lakes achieved its second-highest finish, placing fourth.
