Histori
The school district comes from the Spring Branch School Society, sponsored by St. Peter's Church in 1856. The first school opened in 1889. In 1905, the white school had one teacher with 49 students and a black school had one teacher with 29 students.
The area did not become urban until the expansion of the city limits of Houston in the 1950s, followed by failed attempts by the entire Spring Branch region to incorporate into one entity, leading to the establishment of Memorial Village. Schools are separated.
In 1979, The New York Times said that the district was "highly respected".
Hal Guthrie became supervisor in 1986 and retired in 2001. During Guthrie's reign, the entry of low-income and Hispanic students entered the district. In 2001, SBISD established free preschool for all students at all income levels. Melanie Markley of the Houston Chronicle wrote that Guthrie "not only guides the district back to health, but this year's retirement ends a career that many say has earned Spring Branch's reputation as a pioneer."
In 2009, SBISD started a partnership with Houston Community College Northwest, enabling students to take college credits. Each student can earn up to 30 credits when enrolling in SBISD school.
