R. Scott Allen, Principal

Greetings!

As principal, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our website for Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA). We begin the 2020-2021 school year remotely, and a little later than usual, for at least the first six weeks due to the continue COVID-19 situation.

We are in our 49th year of excellence in the arts and academics at HSPVA! We continue to celebrate what makes us one of the nation's most prestigious high schools: our proud heritage, dedicated staff, successful alumni, supportive parents, and, most importantly, our gifted and talented students. We are thrilled with our new state of the art five-story building in downtown Houston, only blocks from the prestigious Theatre District! The design and construction journeys from 2016-2019 were amazing as we worked with architects from Gensler and our contractors from McCarthy Building Companies.  Watching our student settle in and raise the level of art and performance in the new spaces has been inspiring and we cannot wait to have them back on campus once it is safe to return to face to face instruction.  Dr. Allen's message continues.
