Welcome to our Military Family Community at KMS!
The Purple Star Campus Designation recognizes Texas districts and charter schools that show their support and commitment to meeting the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. This special honor was created by the 86th Texas Legislature through SB 1557 and further described in agency rule (19 TAC, § 61.1063).
This page is currently in development with resources and helpful information coming soon. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our campus-based military liaison, Mrs. Wells at 281-641-2202 or the program coordinator, Heather Creech at 281-641-4251.

This search engine is specific to the Houston area and will help you find accurate rentals and properties for purchase.
Be sure to list all surrounding Zip Codes in your search. Because Kingwood is annexed to Houston a regular search will often result in listing providers only in downtown Houston when there are providers much closer. Doing separate searches for Kingwood specific zip codes and Atasocita/New Caney/ Humble specific zip codes will be much more successful.
