“For as long as I can remember, I wanted to write. As a child, I loved words and books, especially books about people.”

Through belief in herself and dedication to learning, Conroe High School alumna Annette Gordon-Reed grew to achieve great things as a celebrated historian, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and professor at Harvard University.

Gordon-Reed Elementary opened in 2022 and serves the northwestern corner of the Conroe High School feeder zone.
