YES Prep White Oak Secondary

YES Prep White Oak is a public charter school in Houston, Texas . Team. Enthusiasm. Continuous Improvement. Each year, we will add one grade.

We exist to prepare low-income students for college, to transform the way Houston educates its students, and to serve the members of our surrounding community. These are the core values of YES Prep White Oak, home of the OWLS! Our school is preparing 100% of our students for college. We are currently in our eight year, serving grades 6th-10th. By August 2019, we will have 6th through 12th grades. We are a public school and enroll students through a lottery system.

The best day of the year did not disappoint. 💙💛

Senior Signing Day 2026, presented by ConocoPhillips, brought together YES Prep families, students, staff, alumni, donors, and supporters to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of the Class of 2026.

This year’s seniors:
✨ Earned more than 12,630+ college acceptances
✨ Surpassed $120+ MILLION in scholarships and financial aid
✨ At least one student accepted to every Ivy League university in the country

From college declarations and military commitments to performances from student dance teams and cheer groups across our campuses, the day was filled with pride, joy, and unforgettable moments.

To our seniors: thank you for showing Houston what is possible. Your hard work, resilience, and determination continue to inspire us all.

And to our families, staff, donors, and community partners — thank you for helping make moments like this possible.
