School History

Ebbert L. Furr was a long time rancher who once owned the land where Furr High School is located. The area was originally identified as Oates Prairie. Furr’s land holdings also included the property now known as the Songwood Homes subdivision, which is adjacent to Furr High. Furr High School was built in 1961. Furr High School was rebuilt as part of a 2012 bond program, with the new school nearing completion by the time Hurricane Harvey hit in 2017.  The new campus was designed to replace the original 1960s-era school.
