Gander - Mr. Lee

Alma Mater

Set our hearts in tune with thee
Let wisdom be our light.
Thy strength and thy beauty
Shall make our pathway bright
Forever.
Glory, laude, and honor
We would ever bring to thee.
And lift our voices in thy praise;
Let other thy spirit see.
Alma Mater, Alma Mater,
Give to us the key.
That through our days will open wide
The truth that makes us free.
May we ever forward march
And faithful, loyal be-
Victorious maroon and white,
The banners of R. E. LEE.

School History

Built in 1928, Lee High School is located in the petrochemical industrial area of the Texas Gulf Coast. We are proud of our long history of educating GCCISD students.

Our student population comes from the cities of Baytown and Highlands, with an enrollment of approximately 2075 for 2000-2001. Our ethnic breakdown is 38 percent White, 42 percent Hispanic, 19 percent African-American, and 1 percent Other.

Over the years, our school has undergone numerous renovations, including the reconstruction of the main building following a devastating fire in 1987 and a brand new Art & Science building. These renovations have allowed us to offer a state-of-the-art learning facility while preserving the beauty of this historical landmark. In 2000 a brand new cafeteria has been added along with 13 classrooms on the second floor.
