Have you heard???? What an amazing program! Thanks Studio VII

“Theatre Is Rated E” is a new program that joins Studio VII with our special needs program at Seven Lakes! We will teach theatre, play improv games, read scripts, and watch plays/musicals with the students at our school who have intellectual disabilities like Autism and Down Syndrome. Theatre is for EVERYONE, and connecting these programs at Seven Lakes will give these students the chance to experience the beauty of theatre. This program will be led by our VP, Elianna Grinberg, and co-led by Amélie Walter. If you have any questions, please reach out to them.🧡💙

Congratulations to our percussion department!

We are thrilled to share that the Seven Lakes High School Percussion Ensemble has been selected to perform at the 2026 Music for All National Festival in Indianapolis next March. After a rigorous audition process, Seven Lakes earned the honor of being named one of only ten percussion ensembles in the entire United States to receive this distinction.

We are proud to represent our band, our community, and Katy ISD on this national stage, and we are grateful for the opportunity to showcase the dedication, passion, and artistry of our students.
