Another HISD Campus closed over winter-break.
They tried to keep it out of the newspapers and the media.

Houston ISD closed the High School DAEP alternative disciplinary campus a few months ago, in December of 2025. The High School disciplinary cases now share a campus with Middle School children.
All the High School students (ranging up to age 18) were squeezed into HISD's 'Secondary DAEP' for grades 6-8 (starting in January 2026).

The district closed the campus in November, moving all of its students and some staff to its secondary disciplinary alternative campus near Houston's Fifth Ward.
