The Spring Branch School of Choice (SBSOC) is an alternative school in the Spring Branch Independent School District in Spring Valley Village, Texas, United States. It serves grades 9-12.

The campus was formerly known as Spring Branch Senior High School. Spring Branch High School was the first high school in the school district. The high school opened in 1948 with an initial enrollment of a few hundred students. By the later 1950s/early 1960s, the school's enrollment had increased, exceeding the school's capacity and causing overcrowding. In response, the school district opened Memorial High School in 1962, on the other side of old Katy Road. Despite the opening of the new school, enrollment at Spring Branch High School continued to grow, and another high school, Spring Woods High School, was opened in 1964. Northbrook High School opened in 1974 to ease additional overcrowding at Spring Branch and Spring Woods. By the mid-1980s, due to the oil bust, and an overall decline in the school-age population across the district, enrollment numbers dropped across all six high schools in Spring Branch. In light of this, the school board voted to close both Spring Branch High School and Westchester High School at the end of the 1984-1985 school year. Most students who previously attended Spring Branch High School were rezoned to Northbrook and Spring Woods. Some Spring Branch students were also rezoned to Memorial High School. The Spring Branch School of Choice was then opened in the former Spring Branch High School building as an alternative school for students not suited to the district's more traditional schools.

Many of the buildings that had made up Spring Branch High School were torn down in 2015 so that a new facility for the Spring Branch School of Choice could be built in its place. A permanent museum dedicated to memorabilia from the former Spring Branch High School was also opened on the site of the old school, in its former library in October 2017.
