Humble ISD is asking Harris County Commissioners Court to help keep high school graduations at Reliant Stadium instead of the smaller Reliant Arena for May 2027. No vote was taken.

Lone Star College System enrolled 100,023 students this fall, its first time above 100,000, up 2.81 percent from last year and 17.45 percent over four years. Lone Star College-Kingwood serves the Lake Houston area.

The Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation is moving high school graduations from Reliant Stadium into Reliant Arena. Humble ISD trustees objected at Commissioners Court, and further discussion is set for September 17.

Lone Star College leaders told trustees September 3 that the delayed fire training facility at the Kingwood campus is now expected to be finished in 2027, more than three years past its original target.

Humble ISD trustees voted unanimously September 8 to keep the tax rate at $1.1052 per $100 of value for a third straight year. Rising home values still push the average bill up about $28, to $2,370.
