History

Churchill High School is named after Sir Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Churchill first opened for classes in 1966, funded by a 1960 school district bond that also established Roosevelt High School and the Blossom Athletic Center.[3] [4]

Churchill has been twice named a National Blue Ribbon School, in 1982-83 and again in 1999-2000.[5] In 2012, Churchill was ranked 8th on Children at Risk's Top 10 High Schools in Greater San Antonio.

The school mascot is the Charger while the British Union Flag and lion are used as additional symbols. The school was referenced in the 1996 movie Lone Star.

Athletics

The football team won the 4A state championship in 1976.[6] Starting in 1984, the Churchill High School football team would play the Clark High School football team in a rivalry game nicknamed the "Gucci Bowl".[7] The two schools face off every year and the game used to signal the start of the high school football season in San Antonio.[8]

The boys' basketball team won the 1982 5A state championship.[9] [10]

The boys' soccer program won the Texas State Championship in 1989, 1998, 2001, and 2003.[11]
