Obra D. Tompkins High School (OTHS) is a high school located in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas in Greater Houston. It is a part of the Katy Independent School District.
Tompkins was created to relieve the overflow of students in the neighboring Seven Lakes High School, which in the 2013-2014 school year had almost 4,000 students, 30% over the 3,000 student capacity. Because of this, Tompkins only had classes for freshmen and sophomores during its inaugural year. The school is named after Obra D. Tompkins, a long-serving educator in the Katy school district. Its mascot is a Falcon. Tompkins is a 610,000 square feet (57,000 m2) facility.[2] It is located off Falcon Landing Blvd. and Gaston Road at the edge of the Cinco Ranch Line.
