How We Evolved

The school opened in 1999 with only two grades and now serves students from grades 9 to 12. Ninth graders attend the adjacent Hebron 9th Grade Center, which opened in 2010. The Class of 2002 was the first graduating class. Hebron High School is located in what used to be the old town of Hebron. Only a few small patches of the town remain; most has been incorporated into surrounding cities of Carrollton, Plano, and The Colony.

When Hebron High School was being built in the late 1990’s LISD asked Arbor Creek students to submit names on what Hebron should be called. The “Hawks, “Hippos” and “Hurricanes” names were submitted. The “Hawks” were chosen as historians believed the two other names were submitted as a joke by the student body. Hebron was initially painted green as its primary color by the architects. Students did not like the color due to being to close to Newman Smith’s colors and changed it to black and blue. The board added silver so it would not be gang related. Today there still is a presence of green inside and outside the school.
